My life's calling found me when I wasn't looking for it

Posted outside the last undergraduate psychology course I took, a flyer described a family looking for therapists and offering in-home training and supervision. Little did I know then that I would fall in love with autism when I met two brothers in the spring of 2004.

Daily with their parents and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Therapist from the LOVAAS Institute, my life's calling found me.

From there, I pursued research experiences at the University of Maryland Medical Center and Children's National Medical Center with the ultimate goal of gaining acceptance to a graduate program to further my clinical training working with children and their families.
