Bio: Jenna Rabe-Hoy

Jenna started as an RBT in 2008. She worked directly with young clients in a clinic and quickly found a soft spot for clients with high levels of maladaptive behaviors. In 2012, she became the Lead RBT in a BI classroom in a middle school that supported students with emotional and behavioral disorders. In 2015, she started working as a program manager, helping train RBTs on behavior intervention plans and started graduate school in Applied Behavior Analysis. Her focus in graduate school was in neuropsychology and the impact of ABA on emotional and behavioral disorders. She graduated and passed the BCBA exam in 2017. She has committed her career since then to providing training, support and leadership in various school settings that provide support to students with high needs behaviorally and socially. She has extensive experience in Organizational Behavior Management and training clinicians on challenging and complex behaviors. She is a trained Acceptance and Commitment clinician and presented at conferences on the therapy and its impact on behavior in students. She is currently working on obtaining her Ph.D in Applied Behavior Analysis. 
Outside of work, Jenna and her wife are parents to 6 children and actively involved in the foster and adoption community of Spokane. She loves reading, writing, and all things musical. Her favorite activity is watching the news with her two Bernese Mountain dogs, Winnie and Lola.
