Summary

Board-Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) with over six years of experience in the field, displaying unwavering dedication to my profession. I hold a Masters degree in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. My extensive career spans working with families in both India and Ireland before relocating to Australia.

Iam deeply committed to using practices which are both ethical and evidence-based practices that underpin the science of ABA. I recognise the importance of tailoring teaching methods to best suit my clients needs and preferences. Moreover, Iam a collaborative team player who firmly believe in the power of cooperation as a means to facilitate my clients journey towards realising their optimal potential.

Embracing a holistic approach, Iam dedicated to ensuring the well-being and best interests of my clients and their families remain at the forefront of my practice.
