What's My Why?

I became a professor because I love teaching and helping people find what they are passionate about. I remember the professors who made a difference for me and helped me find opportunities to explore my interests, and I want to be that person for my students. Salve’s small community means that I learn every student’s name and have the same students in multiple classes, which allows me to get to know them as students and as people.

Professional Experience

I have been a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) since 2017 and have worked clinically in the area of early intervention with children with autism and related disorders.
