Meet Shay, our BCBA intern here at Chance ABA. Originally from California, Shay moved to Houston to be closer to her family. Her interest in Applied Behavior Analysis started in 2019 when she became a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) while studying at the University of Houston-Downtown.
Since moving to Texas, Shay has earned both a B.S. in Psychology and an M.S. in Applied Behavior Analysis and is now preparing for her BCBA exam. Outside of her professional achievements, Shay has started a family with her husband and their three-year-old toy poodle, Sadie.
