I am an Instructor Therapist, where I work one-on-one with our students. I am also a Registered Behaviour Technician (RBT). I teach skills to our students and help support their needs while they are at TACT. I help our students manage any behavioural challenges they may face throughout the day.
Prior to starting at TACT, my journey began after graduating from the Toronto Metropolitan University with a BA in sociology. After graduating, I needed some time to evaluate and think about the career path I wanted to pursue. I worked for a few years in the service and retail industry until I decided to go back to school and specialize in a field where I could help and work with people. After doing some research, I found the advanced diploma for the autism and behavioural science program at George Brown College.
I spent the year in the program learning, practicing, and applying the ABA skills that were being taught to me. I was placed at TACT for my 7-week placement as a student. I quickly fell in love with the job, duties and the wonderful and positive learning environment at TACT. I was lucky enough that once I completed my schooling, I was offered a position at TACT.
Outside of TACT many of my hobbies and interests are involved with music. I love playing the drums, writing, and performing live with other musicians.
I also enjoy attending concerts and spending time outdoors. I love watching hockey as I am a huge Toronto Maple Leafs fan!
Things that inspire me are acts of kindness, attending and playing live music, and being able to be creative.
