Andrea started her ABA journey in 2009 at Travis Elementary School, Travis Air Force Base, CA. She was a behavior technician for the early intervention program at Travis Unified School District. When two of her children received an ASD diagnosis, she took time to work closely with the BCBA and RBTs who were providing ABA therapy. This is when she saw the impacts ABA has on families and individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. She found her passion and desire to provide the same support that her family received. She moved to Minot in 2015 and started her Special Education and ABA Masters Program at the University of North Dakota. In 2018 she moved to Cheyenne, WY in order to complete her degree and study under other BCBAs in both Wyoming and Colorado. She received her board certification in 2020. She oversaw numerous clients and RBTs in Northern Colorado until the decision was made to return to Minot. She started Total Behavior Support because of the need for ABA within the community. Her goal is to provide client base ABA to Minot and surrounding areas.
