Natalie Ramos
Registered Behavior Technician
Natalie is a passionate behavior technician that acquired a masters degree in Behavior Analysis at Florida International University. She was driven to join the field by vicariously experiencing brother's progress after receiving ABA therapy services. As such, she was inspired to create the same impact in the life of those that need most and deliver the same peace relief her and her family have felt through his journey. Natalie strives for autonomy, compassion, and support during therapy sessions. In the future, she hopes to flourish into a practitioner of knowledge and support for those in the community she services.

Personal Hobbies
When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time in my hammock reading romance novels. When days get rough, I cuddle in bed and watch Friends. I also enjoy writing and practicing embroidery.
