Continuing Education

Up-to-date

Led by curiosity about human behavior, how we interact within this world, how human behavior impacts other humans, and the relationship with our environment and human behavior. Constantly search for opportunities to expand on current knowledge & dive into new issues.

Her role and ethical responsibility as a BCBA is to improve the environmental conditions for learning and growth in the classroom, home, and community.

Markina consults with families, teachers, individuals, groups, and schools on how to increase opportunities for individual people, or groups of people, to learn and improve socially and culturally significant skills. This includes encouraging independence, quality of life, and autonomy. Her primary focus is with non-dominant communities and the adults (including teachers, community organizers, and community members) who work and care for those individuals.

Markina relies on evidence-based research to drive socially significant decisions in order to shape and change human behavior for over a decade. She uses direct and indirect assessment measures, including observations, surveys, and qualitative data taking protocols.

In addition, Markina provides consultation, direct services, and advocacy in-person & virtually to families, schools, and organizations around the country who do not have access to providers in their area due to a variety of factors; these factors may include location or cultural differences within their communities. The use of technology is important within her practice.

Creating a curriculum for adult learners to access virtually and encouraging social networks through virtual platforms in order to create diversity and expand collaboration are important elements of Markina’s day-to-day. Identifying and implementing appropriate technologies for learning is essential for equitable education across all generations and backgrounds.

The use of technology and its importance for collaboration and connection drive her efforts to examine the impact to improve conditions and opportunities for learning. Having over a decade of experience on the ground, walking with those that she dedicate her life to serve and support, has provided Markina a perspective for justice and the push to ensure that all people have the opportunity to improve their life through accessing evidence-based practices that are designed to encourage healthy, meaningful, and long-lasting learning despite their location, abilities, cultural preferences, or identity.

"In my 11+ years in the field of ABA and teaching, I have dedicated my time to understanding how people learn and adapt across all environments, abilities, and cultures.

The use of technology is important within my practice and allows me to identify appropriate goals and select the most effective strategies to implement in order to obtain those goals efficiently.

Whether I am creating curriculum for adult learners to access virtually or encouraging social networks through virtual platforms in order to create diversity and expand collaboration—identifying and implementing appropriate technologies for collaboration and learning is essential for progress and is one of my passions."

"I rely on the evidence-based research to drive socially significant decisions in order to shape and change human behavior. I use direct and indirect tools for measuring human behavior and trends; including direct observations, surveys, interviews, and various qualitative data taking protocols.

This experience allows me to identify barriers quickly so that we can move forward to modify, change, or support the areas that are a priority to the individual or system as a whole!"

Black Lives Matter’s #WhatMatters2020 is a campaign aimed to maximize the impact of the BLM movement by galvanizing BLM supporters and allies to the polls in the 2020 U.S Presidential Election to build collective power and ensure candidates are held accountable for the issues that systematically and disproportionately impact Black and under-served communities across the nation.
