Shortly after completing his BCaBA, he joined Crystal Minds, seeing it as an opportunity to apply what he has learned in the field of ABA and Special Needs in order to bring about positive life changes. As a member of the Crystal Minds aba therapist team, he has been able to be part of an interdisciplinary team focused on providing support to professionals working with the special-needs population.
