Our Story

As she worked to overcome obstacles and challenges to help better her son's life, she began to develop a vocational passion for helping other children with an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis. She began her professional career at the Kennedy Krieger Institute where she worked in the Department of Behavioral Psychology.
Marianna is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and holds a Master of Science in Psychology. As a parent, Marianna understands the difficulties families encounter in the home, as well as in the community.
