RBT
Yina started working with Actualize Behavior Alternatives in 2025 out of the desire to continue and expand their dedication and passion to working with individuals with disabilities. This dedication not only comes from professional experience of nearly 10 years but also deeply personal and lifelong experience with family members who have disabilities.
Growing up with family members with disabilities means that lots of things are just Yinas everyday and has taught them lots about disabilities and taught them that alot can be accomplished with just some patience. Yina also started their professional journey by interning at the special ed departments in highschools and creating curriculum and realizing that seeing potential and not limits is the most important key.With most recently having experience as an RBT for over 3 years domestically and got chosen to go abroad as well. Under the supervision of many amazing professionals in the field yina has excelled in learning the ins and outs of ABA but also learning and loving different client dignity based therapies abroad.
One of the most valuable lessons Yina has learned from the school of hard knocks is that everything truly happens for a reason.
If Yina could choose any superpower it would be teleportation to be able to see the world without paying for those airplane ticket prices
