Meet Gabi! Gabi was drawn to ABA with the desire to make a meaningful impact in the lives of children and their families. She values how ABA provides the opportunity to teach essential skills that foster independence and open doors for lifelong learning. Gabi especially enjoys working with young clients, as there are so many foundational skills to develop that allow kids to flourish both now and in the future. She loves incorporating play and daily tasks into sessions, creating fun and engaging experiences that clients can look forward to.

Looking ahead, Gabi hopes to complete a graduate program in ABA within the next five years, continue growing her knowledge, and build lasting connections with clients, families, and colleagues.

Outside of work, she enjoys being outdoors, listening to music, cooking, drawing, and spending time with loved ones. Her favorite reinforcers are coffee and shopping.

Meet Alexa! Alexa was inspired to work in ABA because of her passion for helping children grow - not just through their programs, but socially and emotionally, as well. She loves watching kids reach their goals and finds it incredibly rewarding to see them flourish with support and guidance.

In the next five years, Alexa sees herself becoming a BCBA or a school psychologist, and she’ll be applying to graduate school in Fall 2026!

Outside of work, Alexa enjoys yoga, Pilates, reading, and spending time with friends and family. If she had to pick a favorite reinforcer, it would be a toss-up between movement breaks (nothing beats a little dance party!) and sweet treats!
