Jana Johnson
Hi, I’m Jana (juh-nay) Johnson! I am a fairly new BCBA and have been practicing ABA for approximately four years providing in-home and clinic-based services as a Registered Behavior Technician. I am originally from Charlotte, NC, where I started my journey in ABA and fell in love with the field. I enjoy getting to know my clients and using silly and fun approaches to encourage learning. In my free time, I enjoy walking nature trails, playing sports, engaging in any water activity, and rocking out on my drum pad. I look forward to meeting you!

Genesis Rodriguez Toro
Genesis is currently a student at George Mason University on the path to completing her undergraduate degree in Foreign Languages with a French concentration and a minor in Spanish and Global Affairs. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, she was instilled with a powerful sense of community and wants to help others improve. It was while helping with translating for some multinational guests who were teaching at a summer dance intensive she was attending that she realized that she wanted to learn languages and help others be able to communicate with each other without barriers.
Now introduced to the world of ABA, she strives to help clients and provide translation services to Spanish-speaking parents/caregivers so they can receive the language accommodations they need to communicate their needs and concerns.
