How CALM Began and Our Journey to Empowering Families

Meet the CALM team

CALM Dedicated Behavior Analyst

My name is Gina, and I am a behavior analyst with CALM! I am a Jamaican-born native, and I have a deep passion for empowering individuals with autism through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). My journey has been driven by a belief in its potential to make meaningful lasting changes in behavior, communication, and daily living skills. What I love most about ABA is its individualized approach — its not just about teaching skills, but about transforming lives, one goal at a time.

At Cultural Autism Learning & Motivation (CALM), I am committed to creating an inclusive environment that celebrates diversity and adapts to the unique needs of each person. CALM is more than a service provide; it’s a community that supports, motivates, and nurtures growth. I believe every individual has the potential to thrive, and its an honor to work alongside families as we help their children achieve greater independence and success.
