“ The clinic setting, collaboration of BCBAs all in the same office, and going to grad school with one of the BCBAs that worked at Hope all initially attracted me to Hope. The clients, the families, the continued collaboration, and the support across clinicians has motivated me to stay and continue to make a difference in the clients'/families' lives. I feel very comfortable bringing questions, concerns, and ideas to my manager! She is always willing to help answer a question; if she doesn't know, she will find the answer one way or another! I am constantly brainstorming ideas, and my manager is always happy to hear about them and utilize them if they will make a positive impact across staff and the clinic.”
