Meet Ms. Mariss! One of our wonderful RBTs at Daytastic ABA!
🌟 Meet Marissa – RBT at Daytastic ABA 🌈
Hi, I’m Marissa! I’ve always had the heart to help others, but it wasn’t until college — when I discovered psychology — that I found the path that truly felt right. I became fascinated by learning about different disabilities and disorders, and I also have personal experiences that made this journey even more meaningful.
Growing up with my own developmental challenges and having a brother with maladaptive behaviors inspired me to support kids and teens navigating similar experiences. When I learned about the RBT credential through Daytastic ABA, I knew it was exactly where I was meant to be.
I get to do what I love every day. The best part of being an RBT is seeing real progress in the kids we serve and getting to build meaningful relationships through play and learning.
This role has also helped me grow. I’ve learned to manage my emotions, understand that other people’s behavior aren't a reflection of my own, and embrace personal responsibility and compassion.
I bring patience, acceptance, commitment, and creativity to work every day — and while I don’t know exactly what the future holds, I know I want to keep giving these amazing kiddos the tools to build independence and confidence 💪💙
