Registered Behavior Technicians
(RBT)

Coming Soon!

Hello! I was born and raised in the DFW metroplex, specifically the Keller area. I graduated high school in 2022 and headed out west to Stephenville, Texas to attend the best kept secret, Tarleton State University! I am studying Communication Sciences and disorders, in hopes to become a Speech and Language Pathologist.

I am the fourth child of eight! I know, life was never boring. That being said, I have been in the routine of taking care of others my whole life. From a young age, I interacted with children of all ages who were diagnosed with autism through a close family member. I was also exposed to ABA at a young age. I have interacted with children with special needs for as long as I can remember. I began working with children as a lifeguard giving swim lessons and began babysitting for other families at the age of 14. I have had the amazing opportunity to work at Unique Pathways the past two summers as an intern, so I am very excited to take on a more permanent position as an RBT!

When I am not at work, I enjoy spending my days out hiking, traveling, spending time with friends/family, and playing with my pets. I love new experiences and have been told I am an experience junkie! I look forward to meeting new people, and am excited to be part of the Unique Pathways family.

Hello, I am ecstatic to be on the Unique Pathways team! I was born in St. Louis, Missouri, but my family moved to Texas when I was six years old. I graduated from Princeton high School in a small town just east of McKinney. Afterwards, I pursued my licensing in cosmetology, and though I enjoyed making women and little girls feel beautiful, there was a lack of purpose and fulfillment.

I began working with children as a camp leader and realized I absolutely loved it! Although working with large groups of children was, at times, overwhelming to me, when I found work in the field of ABA as a behavior technician I was able to operate in the quality of care I had always wanted. The ABA therapy was an opportunity to provided intentional devotion to each child with autism. I have been doing this since 2021, and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. I am a firm believer in the quote from Frederick Douglas, “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” By this, I work and strive to help children become their absolute best!

There is nothing more fulfilling in my career than assisting with shaping this next generation for a bright future. My spiritual fulfillment has come from my pursuit of the Lord Jesus since I was 18, and my surrender to Him at 26. I live my life for His glory and He has made beauty from the ashes of my past. I’m currently in school at TCC and will be transferring soon to study pediatric psychology in hopes of equipping children with coping skills that they can carry throughout the trials and seasons of life.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and I look forward to pouring into your child.

Hello! I'm so excited to be a part of the Unique Pathways team! I was born in Arkansas but spent most of my childhood in Tennessee. Right before I started high school, my Dad accepted a role pastoring a church on the Island of Guam. My family made the move overseas for the next four years. These were very educational years for me. I learned so much about other people and cultures and formed many of the values during that time that I still hold fast to today. Upon graduation, I attended the University of Central Arkansas. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology in 2010. I always hoped to have a career helping other people, but I wasn't sure what that looked like for me at that time. I began working in an administrative role for an oil and gas company which is what brought me to the Dallas area.


Not long after moving here, I met my husband. I have been here since 2012, which I guess makes me a Texan! We have three beautiful children who bring me so much joy every day! One of our children was diagnosed with Autism at 3 years old. It wasn't long after our ABA journey began that God placed the desire in my heart to pursue ABA as a career someday when the time was right. I have personally experienced the life-changing results that ABA had in my child's life and the difference that it made for our family. I'm grateful that I now have the opportunity to be part of a team focused on helping other families experience that as well! I am eager to learn as much as I can as an RBT, and I aspire to go back to school to become a BCBA.


My time outside of work is spent with my children and husband exploring fun things to do in the DFW area. We also love to travel back to Arkansas whenever we get the chance to spend time with family. My husband and I enjoy watching food and travel shows, and I like to try out cooking new things when I get the chance. In between caring for 3 kids, I've somehow managed to make a little bit of time for my recent hobbies of propagating plants and embroidery. I never start a morning without coffee! I love seeing growth and progress in everything, so I look forward to working with your kids and seeing that in them as well!

Hello! I am originally from Missouri and moved to Texas in 2012. With a deep passion for nurturing young minds, my career began in early childhood education, encompassing roles as a preschool and after schoolteacher. I have worked with children as young six-weeks of age through 12 years of age. For three years, this was my chosen path but in late 2023, God transitioned me into Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA); driven by a profound dedication guiding every child I work with towards the full potential God has in store for them.

When I am not at work, I can be found serving in my Church's ministry and on the worship arts team. During my downtime, I love to read books and watch TV.

Hi! I was born and raised in Fort Worth Texas, and as I grow older I find more things to love about our diverse metroplex.


I am currently a psychology major at UT Dallas, and I am hoping to start a doctorate program by the fall of 2023. Ever since I can remember I have had a passion for psychology and a deep love for working with children. So naturally, being an RBT is pretty much my dream job! I am so thankful to have a job where I get to play all day, while simultaneously helping kids grow.


While this is my first job in the psychology field, I have been babysitting and nannying children with special needs (ranging from ASD to cerebral palsy) since I was 12 years old. I also volunteered in special needs classrooms (PreK-12) for the last 6 years of my schooling. Working with these kids has really changed my life, and there is nothing else I would rather do!


​When I am not working or doing homework, you will usually find me going on hikes or visiting a local coffee shop. I also really enjoy all things cooking and baking, and when the world starts to open back up again, it will be very hard to pull me away from the art museums!

Hi my name is Gabriella but I go by Gabby. I am from Wichita Falls, but I was in Lubbock for 4 years before making it to the DFW area. I graduated from Texas Tech University with my Bachelors Degree in Psychology along with a minor in Human Development & Family studies. I decided to enter the ABA field because of my love for children. Helping them grow and learn has always been something I have wanted to be a part of.

I have worked in churches and schools with kids for most of my life. I come from a family of educators so beginning my journey with these kiddos is very exciting for me! My hobbies include: going to the gym, taking walks/hikes, listening to music and going to concerts with my friends.

Hey y’all! I was born and raised in the small town of New Brockton, AL. Being the only girl of 5, I grew up a tomboy. Hunting, fishing, and all things country were my life! I began playing the saxophone at the age of 12. My band director noticed I had talent, and with his help and guidance, I was able to become one of the best baritone saxophonists in the state. That encouragement helped me find a new passion to ignite those same flames in other children. I studied Music Education in college, and after completing my time at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, I became an assistant music teacher at a Lutheran school. When the school year was over, I decided to visit my mother in Kansas and decided to stay. Looking for a new job, I happened upon an RBT opening at an ABA center in Junction City, Kansas and fell in love with it. I knew then that I wanted ABA to be in my life for the rest of my life. That position led me to become a Translational Life Skills and Cognitive Therapist, while also being a lead RBT. My journey in Kansas brought me to Unique Pathways where I am able to apply all the things I’ve learned over the years.

I am absolutely in love with being an RBT and conducting direct therapy. Because of that, I'm unsure of what route I want to take with my Master's degree, but I will certainly continue to pour my entire heart and soul into the ABA field.

I have a 4 year old rescue dog named Nash. In my free time I’m either gaming, baking, spending time with my family, or nerding out over anime, music of any and every genre, manga, and comics. It is truly a privilege to be a part of the team and I cannot wait to witness the continued growth of Unique Pathways and of the families we serve.

Hi! I am the middle child of two older sisters and a younger brother. I was born and raised in Houston, Texas, until I moved to the small town of Brenham, Texas, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2021 from Prairie View A&M University.

Before graduating with my degree, I had not worked with kids, but the Lord never ceases to amaze me. Almost immediately after walking the stage, I began working at a residential treatment center for adolescent boys in Child Protective Services. I have been working with kids and adolescents ever since. I have enjoyed working with kids and adolescents across several environments as I have discovered this is my niche.

I am pursuing my Master's degree at LeTourneau University to become a licensed professional counselor, but I also aim to become a BCBA. My ultimate goal is to help as many people as possible live the life intended for them, and I enjoy lending a helping hand to whoever needs it. When I am not busy with work or school, I enjoy spending time with my loved ones and fur baby!

I knew when I walked through the doors of Unique Pathways that I was where I needed to be because, again, the Lord never ceases to amaze me! They are paving the way not only for the kiddos but also for their fantastic team. I am truly blessed to be a part of Unique Pathways, especially as I enter back into the world of ABA!

Hello everyone! I was born in chicago and moved to Texas when I was in elementary school and have been here ever since. I am the second oldest of five and a mother of one to a beautiful little boy. I am currently a student at Purdue University to get my bachelors of science in Psychology in Applied Behavior Analyst.


Hi! I have worked with children almost my whole career. I did in-home childcare/babysitting for a couple of years before being hired at a daycare as a Lead Teacher. While working at the daycare, I found that I especially loved helping children with autism. As I did more research into how to pursue this as a career, I discovered careers in ABA therapy. I immediately was intrigued by the field and wanted to join as soon as I could. I transitioned to an ABA center shortly after and received my RBT license.

I am so glad I found ABA therapy when I did and so proud to be a part of the journey with so many amazing kids and being able to watch them grow.

Outside of work I enjoy hanging out with my little family of three and my even bigger family back at home! I enjoy hiking and going on trips. I love to dance and have danced all my life. I also love to choreograph dances... for not only myself but for others!

Hello everyone! My name is Ayumi but I go by Amy.

I am originally from Japan, but I believe I am Texan! I graduated from Dallas Baptist University with my master’s degree in counseling. I have been working in the ABA field since March of 2021, and I am planning to enroll in a BCBA certification program soon. My ultimate goal is to become a BCBA.

I love working in ABA therapy and I am blessed to work with our clients. I have personally seen the benefits of ABA therapy. For example, reduced behaviors, improved social and life skills, communication skills, as well as a host of other benefits. I believe that God has a plan for all of us, and I am here to serve our clients and their families as well.

My favorite time of day is to spend time with my dogs and watch my favorite Japanese dramas on YouTube. I am married and have enjoyed being a stepmom since 2011. I love my family and being who I am. But the most important fact about me is “I love Jesus!”

I’m Anthony, but I go by Tony. I was born in St. Petersburg, Florida, but was raised in Texas. I joined the Navy and served on the U.S.S. Enterprise, where I worked on the flight deck. I completed two tours of the Western Pacific Ocean, traveling from San Francisco to Hawaii, numerous ports in the Far East, Africa, and Australia. After the Navy I went to school and earned a degree in Mental Health and Addiction.

I began working in the mental health field in 1996 in an acute psychiatric unit specializing with children and adolescents. After my graduation I took a clinical position working with adolescents in a therapeutic community in Dallas where I was promoted to clinical manager. The opportunity became available as the assistant director of a major substance abuse treatment facility in Texas, where I supervised the operations of the adult detoxification unit, Men's residential program, and the HIV residential program.

I contracted a serious case of COVID, and was unable to work for over a year. I yearned to get back to work, and found a position working with children on the autism spectrum. Serving these precious young lives IS a rewarding and enriching experience. I believe there is no better service than to teach young minds life and daily functioning skills that they can take away to improve their futures.

When I’m not working, I'm an active member of my church and gym. I try to visit with my elderly mother and walk her dog as much as possible, and I love spending time with my daughter and 5 year old grandson.

Hello! I grew up in Oakland, CA. I was the only boy in our family and played sports my entire life (football, baseball, and basketball) and loved competing. When I started high school, we moved from CA to Idaho, where I finished high school and attended Idaho State University. I met my wife at ISU, and we were married in 2006. We have two daughters, and I enjoy spoiling them.

I have over 15 years of experience working with the special needs community in a myriad of roles. I began working with individuals with special needs in 2004, where I managed homes for disadvantaged people with special needs. When my family moved to AZ in 2009, I ran a day treatment facility for individuals with special needs. After 5 years of running the day treatment facility, I became the director for the developmental home program for the same company. I ran the program until my family moved to Texas in March of 2024. Now I'm excited to begin my ABA journey with Unique Pathways.
