Jennifer (Mesa)
Board Certified Behavior Analyst
Jennifer lives in Queen Creek with her family. She moved to Arizona in 2015 from Indianapolis, Indiana where she began her career in Applied Behavior Analysis as a behavior technician and quickly fell in love with the science of ABA. She began her Master’s Degree in ABA within 6 months of starting in the field and has never looked back.
She has also lived in Cleveland, OH, and Baltimore, MD, since graduating with her undergraduate degree in Psychology. She grew up in the suburbs of St. Louis, MO, playing club soccer and cheerleading for football in high school and went on the play soccer in college for 2 years as well.
She likes to spend time with her children, playing with her dog (Lolly) dancing, playing board games, watching sci-fi fantasy tv shows/movies, and crafts of all kinds. She has a passion for parent training and whole family support including grandparents, siblings, etc. She feels it is important to include all important members of a client’s life in treatment to create a high level of coordination of care and consistency across environments. Jennifer also has a passion for training future BCBAs through creating Arizona Ability Academy’s behavior analytic trainee (BAT ) program.
Her goal is to eventually earn her Doctorate in organizational leadership with an emphasis in ABA/special education.

However, she would still love to be able to participate in the direct care of clients because she finds joy in helping those that need it most.
In her spare time, she enjoys camping and doing anything outdoors. She loves exploring the woods while driving her 4-Runner. She especially loves driving through the mud as she explores!
