Kristi was first inspired to work in the ABA field, specifically with the autism population, after a semester of internship at a school for children with a wide range of abilities. Since that time in 2004, it has been her passion to remain in the field and continue working with families. What Kristi loves most about working with the families she supports is getting to know them and being part of their journey. She wants all parents to feel supported, cared about, and understood.
