Meet the Team

Nikki has been working in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) since 2012, beginning in public schools before moving into in-home ABA in 2016 under the mentorship of Liz. She has also volunteered at a special needs school in India and worked as both a special needs and neurotypical nanny. Today, Nikki is building Autism Impact (autismimpact.org), an online platform helping families find caregivers for their autistic loved ones. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, sailing, traveling, riding motorbikes, rock climbing, yoga, and spending time with her nephew and family.

Hi my name is Tiana! I have experience working in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), supporting children with diverse needs, and helping them reach their developmental goals. I’m passionate about creating a positive and encouraging environment for kiddos to learn and grow. I enjoy crafting, cooking and I have a love for pottery.

I’ve been a BT for about 10 years and started in the field of ABA when I was in my undergrad. I took the job as a BT, not knowing I would end up loving the field of ABA and turning it into my career. I recently completed my masters in Applied Behavioral Analysis from Bay Path University and will be sitting for my boards to become a Board-Certified Behavioral Analyst soon. My husband and I love to find new coffee shops in CT on the weekends and travel to Massachusetts for day trips. 

Hi, I'm Brad and I am from West Hartford, CT. I’ve spent the past three years working in elementary schools with special needs children. My favorite hobbies are playing sports, cooking, and going skiing. My favorite Sports are Golf, Lacrosse, and Hockey.

This background gives her a unique understanding of what it takes to help individuals succeed not just in school, but in life beyond the classroom. Marisa is passionate about delivering compassionate, individualized, and evidence-based ABA services. Outside of work Marisa enjoys reading, exercising, and spending time with her family.

Hello! I’m Bianca and I’m a suburban girl. I love living in the country where it is calm and quiet. I started ABA in 2019 when I was in college. I have always had the desire to help others and to make a difference whether it’s big or small. Some of my favorite hobbies outside of ABA are going on nature walks, self-care and trying new places to eat.

I am a dedicated RBT with experience implementing ABA interventions under the supervision of a BCBA. I enjoy working with children and helping them build important life skills. I have experience implementing behavior plans and supporting clients as they develop communication and social skills. I enjoy creating a fun and engaging experience that helps my clients succeed in a positive learning environment. Outside of work, I enjoy watching TV, spending time with family/friends, traveling, and baking.

I am Savannah Raine Winks. I have been a clinic (and in home) based RBT for two years andam currently enrolled in the BCBA coursework. I am from central New York (we moved to CT for my husband's career). Outside of my passion for ABA, I enjoy reading, writing, and exercising. Together, my husband and I enjoy going for walks, going to the movies, and playing with our cat Prince Bartholomew. He’s our sweet baby.
