Hello Families! My name is Anna Gianakis and I am a BCBA here at TLC. I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Rochester University and then pursued a Masters of Arts in Applied Behavior Analysis at Ball State University. I have been in the field of ABA for six years and have worked in a variety of settings from center-based, home settings, in the community, and in MISD. I have always loved collaboration with families, children, and interdisciplinary teams which is why I was so drawn to the Center for TLC. I thoroughly enjoy teaching in a naturalistic and child-lead setting while using an empathetic approach with all learners. I love creating a safe and welcoming space for children, staff, and families. In my free time I enjoy playing with my two rescue dogs, Athena & Loki, needlepointing, spending time with my husband, and trying new recipes. My favorite things include: Target, Biggby coffee, peanut butter cups, and the color green!
