A bilingual, Cuban woman who was raised in Miami, English has long been my first language while Spanish remains very dear to my heart. I hope to earn the Master of Arts in Professional Behavior Analysis (MBA) at ____ University so that I will be able to advance professionally and make the fullest possible contribution to my field. Currently a Board-Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA), I aspire to become a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
Now 24 years old, I have recent, relevant professional experience since, along with earning my BA in Psychology at XXXX University, I spent over a year working for XXU’s Early Intensive Behavior Intervention Program, providing care, therapy, and love for Autistic and developmentally disabled children from 18 months to 5 years old. At our summer camp, I received practicum training and supervision along with the opportunity to grow on both personal and professional levels. I hope to excel in your program primarily because of my great passion for the care and education of developmentally disabled children.
Your program at XXXX is my first choice for graduate school because I want to earn my Masters in Behavior Analysis rather than Psychology. I also appreciate the flexibility of your online program which will enable me to gain additional hands-on experience while I complete my degree. I like the fact that I can watch the online lectures and complete the coursework at my own pace; yet, I still have the structure of weekly deadlines that will keep me on track. Finally, I could not be more excited about the prospect of completing your "in-residence" component at one of your "hybrid host sites" where I would receive practicum supervision and complete a Capstone Project.
