Kathleen Thom, BCaBA
Hello, I am Katie. I grew up in Montana where I attended the University of Montana and graduated with a BA in psychology. After graduating in 2013, I made my way to Colorado to explore a new state (but mostly to ski). I first lived in Snowmass, to bring my dream of skiing every day to fruition and worked at the ski school teaching young children, but found I was missing a deeper purpose. In 2016, I moved to the front range and found a job posting at a behavioral health clinic in the Denver area. I loved working as an RBT and started taking courses toward my certification as an assistant behavior analyst. Between my courses and working full time, I found some time to travel to South and Central America and discovered another passion of mine: learning Spanish. From 2020-2022, I lived in Oaxaca, Mexico with my partner to hone my Spanish skills and experience life on the beach. After this amazing experience, we returned to Colorado to be with family and landed here in Glenwood Springs. I feel so lucky to have found my way to the Swann Clinic team and back into the field of applied behavior analysis. Our learners, their families and our team are some of the most amazing people I have met and have inspired me to return to school to earn my master’s in behavior analysis. I am excited to begin classes in May 2024 to work towards becoming a BCBA and continue learning how to best support our learners.

Hello, my name is Nathaly! I was born and raised in the Roaring Fork Valley. I love traveling and doing summer time activities like hiking and paddle boarding. I have been working with children for over eight years. I have worked with children ranging from toddlers to 18 years old. My experience has mostly been in schools as a teacher’s assistant, tutor and I was even an ASL teacher for a summer program. I obtained my RBT certification in February 2023 and became the Clinical Coordinator for the Rifle clinic in July 2023. I love my experience here at the Swann clinic and I am excited to keep furthering my experience in ABA. I am currently working towards obtaining my bachelor’s degree. I hope to one day be able to continue in pursuing my education in ABA.

I am Alejandra, a BT, I am 21 and my birthday is in July. Native to California, I grew up around multiple diverse communities of people, making me realize I wanted to work around said people, and later realizing, mainly kids. I became a respite care worker in 2022 which opened my doors to the field of ABA. I hope to pursue further education in this field. Outside of work, I have two dogs and enjoy music, art and gaming. Find me anywhere from working, walking my dogs or at a concert!
