While in school, she worked as a part-time ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) Therapist, a Therapeutic Integration Technician, and an Autism Support Professional. She serviced individuals in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina. She has a total of 11 years of experience in Special Education.
