A bilingual, Cuban woman who was raised in Miami, English has long been my first language while Spanish remains very dear to my heart. I hope to earn the Master of Arts in Professional Behavior Analysis (MBA) at Florida Institute of Technology so that I will be able to advance professionally and make the fullest possible contribution to my field. Currently a Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA), I aspire to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
Now 24 years old, I have recent, relevant professional experience since, along with earning my BA in Psychology at XXXX University, I spent over a year working for XXU’s Early Intensive Behavior Intervention Program, providing care, therapy, and love for Autistic and developmentally disabled children from 18 months to 5 years old. At our summer camp, I received practicum training and supervision along with the opportunity to grow on both personal and professional levels. I hope to excel in your program primarily as a result of my great passion for the care and education of developmentally disabled children.
Your program at XXXX is my first choice for graduate school because I want to earn my Masters in Behavior Analysis rather than Psychology. I also appreciate the flexibility of your online program which will enable me to gain additional hands-on experience at the same time that I complete my degree. I like the fact that I can watch the online lectures and complete the coursework at my own pace; yet, I still have the structure of weekly deadlines that will keep me on track. Finally, I could not be more excited about the prospect of completing your "in-residence" component at one of your "hybrid host sites" where I would receive practicum supervision and complete a Capstone Project.
