Sarah foltz, MA, BCBA, LBS

Sarah knew she wanted to work with kids since she got her first job out of high school as a preschool aide. She knew she wanted to do something with psychology since she first heard about the field. In college, Sarah learned about this wonderful field called "Applied Behavior Analysis" which, as it turned out, encompassed all of the parts of psychology that just made the most sense to her. After graduating from Arizona State with a Bachelor's in Psychology, Sarah applied to Penn State where she eventually got a Master's degree in ABA. While in school, she completed her internship with ACHIEVE where she worked as an RBT until she sat for the BCBA exam. She's been with ACHIEVE ever since! Sarah feels lucky to have stumbled upon ABA at the exact perfect moment in her life. Now she gets to work with incredible kids and help them to achieve their goals."
