I didn’t set out to start a company, I set out to fix a gap I couldn’t ignore.

After seven years at the Neurobehavioral Unit (NBU) at Kennedy Krieger Institute, I became a home-based BCBA, driving across Maryland to deliver care directly to families. What I saw changed everything: underrepresented families navigating systems alone, overworked clinicians burning out, and ABA delivered for volume, not value.

In 2022, I launched Amigo Care, a BCBA-led organization focused on what truly matters: relationships, retention, and results. We’re not here to be the biggest. We’re here to be the most trusted.

Today, we serve families from all backgrounds with a growing team and an obsession with quality. We’re addressing what most companies overlook—high turnover, lack of cultural connection, and burnout—through mentorship pipelines, internal training systems, and values-driven growth.

I’m still actively leading strategy, mentoring clinicians, and shaping our next phase. As a current PhD student with published work in the field, I remain committed to innovation that strengthens practice, not just process.

I previously served on the Board of Directors for the Autism Society of Maryland (AUSOM), and I continue to co-lead its Latino Parent Support Group, a space where families connect, share, and grow together.

In 2023, I was recognized by the Baltimore Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 for leadership in behavioral health.

This isn’t just therapy. This is how ABA should feel: effective, supportive, and built around people..
