Emily is a BCBA and former special education teacher who is originally from the Washington, D.C. area. She attended The College of William & Mary, graduating with her Master’s degree in 2015. Emily has lived in Tacoma for seven years now and is so glad she took the leap of faith to explore a new area of the country! She has worked at Behavior Bridges since 2017 in a variety of roles – behavior technician, practicum student, and program supervisor. She specializes in working with teens and adults, especially those that experience the intersection of autism and mental health diagnoses. In addition to her work with the Behavior Bridges team, Emily is the Clinical Services Manager at a local supported living agency that serves adults living in the community. In her spare time, Emily loves to travel, play with her cat Knobs, and explore local pizza joints!
