About Meka
Meka began in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis in 2007 when she had the pleasure of meeting a family who had a sweet, young boy diagnosed with Autism.
Upon observing the young boy's ABA therapy program she was immediately captivated by Applied Behavior Analysis. She committed to working 1:1 with him for several hours a week under the direct supervision of a BCBA. This encounter was the impetus for Meka's career in Behavior Analysis.
Meka is a Doctoral Level Board Certified Behavior Analyst
Meka completed the BCaBA coursework at Florida Institute of Technology and received her BCaBA certification in September 2010. She went on to obtain a Masters in Education in Curriculum and Instruction with an ABA focus at Arizona State University, and became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst in January of 2013.
Finally, in 2021 Meka earned a Doctor of Philosophy in Special Education in the Research and College Teaching Program at the University of South Carolina.
Over her career, she has served in various roles ranging from direct therapist, trainer, case manger, clinic director, and assistant professor.
