Hope is from Crystal Lake, and became a Behavior Technician right after she graduated from the University of Iowa in 2020. She fell in love with the field after getting to know the kids and see the progress that was possible. She began working toward becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) at Ball State University with Jasmine as a supervisor, and has been a BCBA since 2022!

In 2023, Hope took a 6-month break to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. She fell in love with the area, so she moved to Portland, Oregon to work as an in-home BCBA as well as explore the Pacific Northwest. Hope has recently decided to move back to Illinois to be closer to family and to settle down. She reconnected with Jasmine, and is so excited to start working at Autism Planet ABA: where the ideas about how amazing ABA can be are put into action!

In her free time, Hope enjoys hiking and camping,traveling, waterskiing, reading, and crafting.
