Additionally, I am pursuing a minor in French through the Department of Languages and Literatures of Europe and the Americas.Born and raised in Windsor, Ontario, I have been dedicated to working for my family-run ABA service company, Essential Autism, since its establishment in 2005. Initially, it was just my mother, sister, and I working alongside my father, a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA), to provide services for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. Over the past nine years, I have played a crucial role in growing our business from a single staff member outside of our family to over 60 staff members with locations in Windsor, London, and Toronto.As the Administrative Assistant Manager, I have played a key role in managing contracts, handbooks, and organizational documents, ensuring compliance and operational efficiency across our Windsor and London locations.
