Remote Intake Coordinator

With over three years of experience in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I am passionate about supporting families as they begin their journey in ABA. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree with a concentration in Vocal Performance from Augusta State University, and while I don’t have children of my own, I proudly "claim" all of my friends' kids as family.

As the Intake Coordinator at Brightstone, I find it incredibly rewarding to be the first point of contact for families. I love being able to share real stories of transformation and growth, helping to reassure and encourage parents who may feel overwhelmed as they navigate the process. I’m committed to walking alongside them every step of the way.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, crafting, and cheering on UGA Football and the Atlanta Braves. I’m also a proud dog mom to a 10-year-old Chihuahua named Hershel. I feel truly lucky to be part of such an amazing team at Brightstone—they keep me laughing and always on my toes!

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from the University of West Florida and am passionate about helping children and families grow through meaningful, life-changing support.

One of the most rewarding parts of my work is witnessing those incredible "click" moments—when a child says “I love you” for the first time, or learns to communicate in a new way. Moments like these aren’t just milestones for the child—they’re transformational for the whole family.

I’m proud of the professional growth and skills I’ve gained throughout my time in ABA, and I’m especially grateful to be part of a team that always puts client progress and well-being first.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, spending time at the beach, and hanging out with my corgi, Floyd, and my cat, Finn.
