Throughout her career, she has worked with students across a wide range of ages and needs, helping them develop the skills necessary to succeed both academically and in their daily lives.

Gina began her career after earning a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a teaching certification from Texas State University. She started as a special education teacher supporting students with intensive behavioral needs, where she developed a strong interest in behavior analysis and individualized intervention strategies. After relocating to New York, she expanded her work as a behavior specialist, serving both as a practitioner at the school level and as a supervisor and policy contributor at the district level.

Her growing passion for behavioral science led her to pursue a Master’s degree in Educational Psychology from University at Albany as well as an Advanced Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis from The Sage Colleges. She earned her BCBA certification in 2019.

In 2021, Gina returned to central Texas where she focused on developing programming that supports social-emotional wellness through trauma-informed and restorative approaches. As a behavior analyst, she uses data-driven assessment and evidence-based interventions to understand behavior and support meaningful skill development. Gina is passionate about helping individuals build skills that improve their independence, relationships, and overall quality of life.
