Major: Psychology

Current Role: Behavior technician

Pursuing: Master’s degree in applied behavior analysis at Saint Joseph’s University

What did the first six months after graduating from F&M look like?

I immediately jumped into graduate school at Saint Joseph’s University. I also ended up getting a full-time job as a behavior technician for children who have autism. I had previously worked at a preschool for kids with autism and I loved it so much. I connected with the kids immediately, so I decided I wanted to go further and become a behavior therapist, which is why I’m in Saint Joseph’s applied behavior analysis master's program.

How did your F&M experience prepare you for where you are now?

I majored in psychology at F&M and I knew I wanted to work with kids. After working at a preschool for four summers during college, I was exposed to different career opportunities that built upon my psychology degree, such as ultimately becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.

Looking back on your college search, why did you choose F&M?

I am so grateful for F&M’s tight-knit community and the amazing professors who helped me overcome challenges and encouraged me throughout my four and a half years. I chose F&M for that very reason: The professors care about their students and genuinely want them to succeed. I am beyond grateful for the impact F&M has had on me and how it made me grow and prepared me for my future.
