Gentle Behavior Tools

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of learners across school, home, and community settings. My experience includes supporting students with autism, ADHD, developmental delays, and emotional or behavioral challenges - each with unique strengths, communication styles, and learning needs. I’ve collaborated closely with teachers, paraprofessionals, and families to create individualized programs that foster independence, emotional regulation, and meaningful social connections. My approach combines evidence-based ABA practices with creativity, compassion, and a deep respect for each child’s individuality.

I earned my Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus in Special Education from Liberty University, where I deepened my passion for making learning accessible and meaningful for all students. Before that, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences at James Madison University, which sparked my love for understanding human behavior and helping children thrive through evidence-based practices. I later earned my Graduate Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis from Arizona State University, further refining my skills in data-driven intervention and individualized instruction. I am also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and a Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA) in the state of Virginia.

Hi everyone! I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), certified in the United States and licensed in the state of Virginia. I have been practicing in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis for over 7 years now. My passion lies in creating engaging, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate learning materials for children with autism and other developmental differences. I currently work in a school setting supporting elementary-aged students through individualized ABA programming, social-emotional learning (SEL), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-aligned instruction. I love designing task boxes, visuals, and lessons that help students build emotional awareness, flexibility, and independence in a fun and accessible way. Through my TPT store, my goal is to share resources that make implementing ABA and SEL strategies easier, more creative, and more meaningful for educators, therapists, and parents alike.
