Emma began her career as a Behaviour Interventionist at Starbright Child Development Centre while completing her undergraduate degree in psychology. She joined Claro Kelowna as a Mentor and she was swiftly promoted to Student Support Coordinator, then Program Director. Emma transitioned into the position of Behaviour Support Coordinator as she completed her Masters in Professional Education of Applied Behaviour Analysis from Western University. She then obtained her BCBA certification. 

Emma is strongly committed to a modern and progressive approach to ABA. She rounds out her formal education with a decade of practical experience working with neurodivergent children and teens. She has completed professional development in areas such as Collaborative and Proactive Solutions, interoception, executive functioning, Social Thinking, and adaptive functioning. 

​Emma believes in deep listening to uncover the concerns creating barriers for a child and family.
