President
Ava Minolli
I am a third-year student in Dr. Caio Miguel’s Verbal Behavior Laboratory. My research interests include applying applied behavior analysis to populations outside of autism, specifically individuals with traumatic brain injuries. In addition, I am interested in investigating incidental learning and bidirectional naming assessments that can be used by practitioners as my thesis. As President, my goals are to unify the ABA cohorts and encourage involvement in events for all ABA knowledge levels, including undergraduates.
Vice President

I am a second-year graduate student in the Performance Improvement Laboratory under the advisement of Dr. Denys Brand. In my position as vice president, I hope to be a resource to both officers and members alike.
