[Spencer Angus]

Hi my name is Spencer Angus, and I am a 19 year old student. For the past year and a half I have been working with a 17 year old Autistic teenager, as her Community Applied Behavior Analysis Therapist. I find this job interesting, fun, and rewarding, and I am planning to pursue ABA Therapy as a career. I attended the University of British Columbia-Okanagan Campus last year, and I am going to take a year off from school to further my experience, and learning in the field. I am transferring to Capilano University next year (September 2012). I would love the opportunity to work with an ABA/behavioral therapy team as that experience would be invaluable.

I am living on the North Shore by the Lonsdale Quay and seabus. I travel by public transit, and do not drive. I am willing to travel to Surrey. The autistic teen I have been working with has been working a very successful ABA program for 12 years. Please feel free to contact me any time at spencerangus@hotmail.com
