During the later stages of her bachelor program, Gina was hired by the Center for Autism and Related Disorders to provide behavioral technician services, primarily for autistic children, at their Carlsbad, California clinic. She earned Registered Behavior Technician and Board Certified Autism Technician credentials, which coupled with her NCU master's degree, provided her greater opportunity in the field.

She is starting an applied behavioral analysis certificate program in the fall to become eligible to sit for the Board Certified Behavioral Analyst exam and plans to return to NCU in 2021 for a doctorate.
