Is it more important to be professional or to be yourself?

How many behavior analytic principles do you engage in during your day-to-day life?

During today’s meal - I speak with a behavior analyst about disseminating to the general public, what she wishes she could tell herself when she started in the field, and connecting behavior science and dating.

Christina Calzadilla, M.S., BCBA, LBA (CT)

Christina Calzadilla is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Data Coordinator, and behavior science educator with over a decade of experience in behavioral analysis. Although her career has centered on supporting autistic individuals and their families, her passion extends far beyond the clinic.

She is fascinated by human behavior in all its forms: from habits and motivation to relationships, health, marketing, and the environments that shape our everyday decisions. Christina believes that behavior science shouldn't be reserved for textbooks or therapy sessions. It should be something everyone can understand and use.

Through education, conversation, and practical application, her mission is to make behavior science more accessible and show that every behavior has a function.
