Meet Kaylea Koonrad!
Kaylea is a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) at Brighter Futures with five years of experience in the ABA field.
While sheâs newer to the Brighter Futures team (she joined in December!), her passion for working with children and families runs deep. Kayleaâs journey into ABA began at the front desk of an ABA clinic, where she quickly realized she wanted to be hands-on with clients and make a direct impact. After researching how to become an RBT, she jumped in as a brand-new tech and never looked back!
Her favorite part of the job is building strong, meaningful relationships with her clients and their families. Kaylea loves celebrating progress as a team and believes that even when growth feels slow, every small step forward is worth celebrating.
She approaches each session with compassion, empathy, and encouragement, always striving to be her clientsâ biggest cheerleader.
Outside of work, Kaylea is a true hobby lover. She enjoys scrapbooking, journaling, and recently picked up cross-stitching! And like many of us, she runs on an iced venti shaken espresso to get through the day. Weâre so lucky to have her! đ
