Hello Friend!

First, I want to say thank you for being here and wanting to hear my story. I live in a small town in Southern Indiana, about ten minutes from the Ohio River. I am a mom of three wonderful boys and a wife to my absolute best friend. One of my kiddos does struggle with emotion regulation, so at home, I am also navigating the ins and outs of proper coping.

My first career within the behavior realm began in a local county jail. I was there for four years and I honestly loved it. I was a jailer and got to see some of the positive transformations of behaviors while there. Though, my heart would break when they would come back months later. I wanted to do more. I wanted to help more. But unfortunately, that was limited.

Since the jail, I have worked in an ABA clinic and earned my RBT. From there, I began working in an elementary school in a self-contained ABS room as a Program Assistant, this August will be my third year in that classroom. Since stepping into the ABA and the ABS world (and having regulation struggles at home) I have noticed how limited behavior resources truly are.

Behavior is truly a passion of mine. I love observing and analyzing potential antecendents, then figuring out the best ways to support and respond to those behaviors. I have always been drawn to the behavioral field and have long carried the desire to do more.

Let’s Regulate & Rise is that open door for me. I am stepping through it with determination, compassion, and a heart full of purpose.
