ILS – Independent Contractors

Becky earned a B.A. in Psychology from The College at Brockport – SUNY, earned an M.A. and a Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology from the University of Notre Dame, and has spent the past 15+ years working with individuals of all ages (infants/children/adolescents and their parents, K-12 students and their teachers, university students, adult patients and their healthcare providers) in direct care or academic roles. Becky has a prolific research background in factors that ease human suffering and support sustainable human progress, and she is passionate about applying and further developing this knowledge at ILS as a person first, professional second.

In her free time, Becky enjoys “hobby hopping” – whether diving into a book or skydiving, attending a silent retreat or attending live music events, exploring different craft projects or exploring nature.
