Team Imprint

I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. My ABA story began in 2014 as a behavior technician in Bloomington, IN, while working toward my bachelor’s degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences. ABA’s loving and passionate approach to teaching and nourishing children with autism drew me into the field and ultimately influenced my decision to pursue further education getting my Master’s at the University of Louisville . Following graduation and receiving certification, I followed my passion back home to southern Indiana where my husband, daughter, and fur babes now reside. Outside of my professional responsibilities, I enjoy spending time with my sweet family and friends, and always love a good reality TV show. ABA has curated many of my most favorite memories throughout my career and now life, however the most meaningful moments have occurred when I’ve needed them the most, in the most perfect way and the most divine timing.

My journey actually began in a classroom! I taught a self-contained special education classroom for kiddos with a variety of learning and behavior challenges. The more diverse my classroom got, the more I sought out ways to help them. Then I stumbled across ABA and found my passion! I had finally found a scientifically proven way to change lives for the better! I started at my first ABA clinic as an RBT in January of 2020, began my master’s program in August 2022 through Ball State University, graduated in May 2022, finished my supervision hours, and received my certification in April 2023! During this journey, my husband and I welcomed our first child into the world!  Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, camping, fishing, and all other outdoor activities!

I live in Seymour, Indiana with my husband Cory and our twin boys Wyatt and Elijah. I have worked with Imprint for about 3 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. I am one of Imprints BCBA’s and have a background in early childhood education, so I love working with our littles and helping them learn and develop at their own pace. Working alongside Imprint’s  incredible staff as well as each of your sweet kiddos has become my passion and they touch my life each and every day. 

I am from Fernandina Beach, Florida and moved to Trafalgar, Indiana during the quarantine of 2020. My ABA journey began in a private school as a teacher’s assistant in a special needs classroom! I’ve worked with children diagnosed Autism for almost 8 years now. I saw, from the outside, what ABA was and how RBT’s and BCBA’s provide therapy in the school. I did some more research while I was in college, fell in love with ABA, and completely switched my career path! I got my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, with an emphasis in Clinical Counseling, from Lakeland University in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and my Master’s degree in Behavioral Analysis from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. I became an RBT in July of 2020 and passed my boards to become a BCBA in March of 2023.

I am from North Vernon, Indiana where I live with my husband, Keenan and our Golden Retriever, Archie. I earned my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from the University of Indianapolis. My goal as an Occupational Therapist is to help our clients develop skills necessary for engaging in things that they want to do, need to do, or are expected to do. I am so thankful to have found my place as an Occupational Therapist with the best team of people I could ask for at Imprint.

I helped open Imprint in 2019. Since then, I’ve used my background in Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology, and Neuroscience to help ensure each child and employee at Imprint have the tools necessary for high quality therapy. I get to witness hope being restored in families every day by our team. We are always presented with unique challenges, and our clients deserve the best solution every time!

My husband, Josh, and I have two daughters, Lianna and Emmersyn. We live in Columbus and also have a very rambunctious golden retriever named Vader. My journey in ABA started purely out of curiosity as I really had no idea what this field consisted of. I quickly fell in love with the role of therapist and decided to go back to school to obtain my Master’s Degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. Shortly after obtaining my degree, I became a Board Certified Behavior Analysis (BCBA). Today, I am the Program Director and COO at Imprint. In this role I oversee a caseload of clients, lead a team of the most amazing BCBAs, and support the culture and staff of Imprint. Being with Imprint since the doors opened for the first time has been so rewarding and I love being part of a team of the most passionate individuals that wake up every day with the desire and drive to change lives.

My schooling is in early childhood education and dance. I have worked with children since 1999 and found the field of ABA in 2017. It quickly became my preferred path. I moved to Indiana late 2018 where I found Shawn and discovered this amazing company that she was starting to build. In January right after Imprint’s official opening date, she brought me on as an RBT. Later that year I began helping admin, doing outreach and in-reach activities. Today after kick starting many new beginnings throughout the clinic, I call Imprint home. Personally, I have two grown children and I was recently fortunate enough to marry the love of my life on Oct 31, 2021.

My husband, Alex, and I live in Seymour with our two energetic Australian Shepherds. I have been a part of the ABA world for about 6 years and have loved every minute of it. I am the In-Reach Coordinator at IPT, so I work a lot with our staff and ensuring that everyone feels supported in their roles at Imprint. I get to plan the fun holiday parties for our clients and various celebrations for staff. I also handle the scheduling for our ABA and our Occupational therapy. Having a hand in all these things makes my heart happy and I feel very blessed to be able to do these things for a company that I love.

My husband Josh and I have 3 boys and we live in North Vernon. I have been workings at Imprint almost 2 years. Two of my children have an autism diagnosis. I currently help with scheduling, billing, and with any other administration needs. I absolutely love working for Imprint. I am so proud to have the opportunity to work with such amazing kiddos and coworkers.
