I grew up in Lynn, Massachusetts, and currently live in Methuen, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n
At some point, I would like to move back to North Carolina. I used to live there when I was younger, and it was my favorite place to live; my family moved a lot (every 2-3 years). I consider Massachusetts my home because I was born here and lived here the longest, but I look forward to making North Carolina my new home soon.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve worked here since October \u2013 so it\u2019s been about nine months. I started working here as an ABA therapist and moved to the Clinical Team in February.<\/p>\n
I had to leave my last job because I was having trouble with my car. When I was able to get back in the field, I applied to Applied ABC.<\/p>\n
Looking back, I\u2019m really happy that everything happened the way it did because I\u2019ve been able to develop professionally in a way that I don\u2019t think I could with any other company.<\/p>\n
Getting to support and collaborate with BCBAs.<\/p>\n
When working with BCBAs, issues come up, and I have to think from both a clinical and creative standpoint to come up with a solution. It really tests out my clinical knowledge in an applicable way while I get to continue learning from seasoned BCBAs and clinical team members.<\/p>\n
I love the fact that I\u2019m going beyond what I learned in the classroom. I know the terms and principles, and now I have the chance to learn and observe how they apply to real-life scenarios.<\/p>\n
Taking an afternoon walk or anything that gets me out of the house. Because I work from home, I need that break and a clear routine to signal the end of work.<\/p>\n
I have a habit of picking up hobbies every couple of months. Right now, I\u2019m really into knitting and sketching. I love learning new things because of how exciting it is when you\u2019re first starting. Once I know how to do it, I become bored\/disinterested, and I\u2019m ready to watch my next YouTube hobby tutorial.<\/p>\n
I love movies and shows! Not just watching them but dissecting them and reading\/watching movie reviews. I also watch a lot of historical documentaries. If I weren\u2019t in the ABA field, I would be a history major.<\/p>\n
I also love reading; my favorite genres are history and sci-fi novels.<\/p>\n
If I weren\u2019t in ABA, I would have tried to become a historian or anthropologist.<\/p>\n
During college, I traveled a lot and found a passion for it. My favorite place I went to was Mauritius. It is a tiny island near Madagascar, and it was one of the best trips I\u2019ve ever taken.<\/p>\n
I went there for a six-month co-op internship in Mauritius. While there, I worked at the African Leadership College on the island as part of the student psychology department.<\/p>\n
During the co-op, there were students chosen as peer leaders who would run support groups and create materials\/events about mental health. I supervised the group and advised on their capstone projects.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
