Special Education
Gabriella is a master's student at UT Austin under the College of Education, working towards her BCBA. She decided to pursue this pathway because of her previous experience in the field as an RBT. Her clients have been her biggest inspiration and have taught her to grow on multiple levels; she wants to give back to them as much as they have given her, which is why ACT LEND will provide her with the training and skills needed.
Gabriella is originally from Venezuela, but was raised in Costa Rica, with her mother's side from Italy; hence, she comes from a diverse family with a huge variety of cultural backgrounds. She received her bachelor's degree in Psychology and graduated from UT Austin in 2023. Shed followed that up with a Master’s in Early Education. Her research background is on seizure forecasting and toilet training for the neurodivergent population.
