Tyler Harper, M.Ed., BCBA
Hi! My name is Tyler Harper, and I’m a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Originally from Jacksonville, I’ve been working in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) since 2021. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Family and Child Sciences from Florida State University (Go Noles!) and went on to complete my Master of Education in Special Education with a concentration in ABA at the University of North Florida.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with individuals across various age groups and settings. I’m especially passionate about early intervention and natural environment teaching, where I believe meaningful progress can be made through play, exploration, and connection.
When I’m not working, you can find me reading a good book, hunting for shark teeth on the beach, or staying active through dance, walking, and running. As a new resident of New Smyrna Beach, I’m excited to explore all the area has to offer!

Aubrei Blumberg, M.S., BCBA
Hello! My name is Aubrei Blumberg. I received my master’s degree through Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) in 2021. Since receiving my master's degree I have worked in clinic, home, school, and community settings. I am passionate about helping clients and families achieve their goals, while with having a fun time doing it. I am so interested in learning that if I have not come across a learning experience, I will look up a fun fact about it before ending the day. I currently live in Edgewater with my family.

Gabriela Carvalho, RBT
Hi! My name is Gabriela, but everyone calls me Gabi. I started working as a teaching assistant supporting children’s behavior in 2024, and that experience made me realize how much I love helping kids grow and succeed. I’ve always been passionate about making a difference in children’s lives, and I also have over two years of experience tutoring students in Developmental Psychology, which gave me valuable insight into child development and inspired my interest in supporting children with disabilities. Through these experiences, I developed a special interest in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from San Diego State University, and I’m currently applying to start my master’s in ABA this January. I recently moved to New Smyrna Beach to be closer to my family, and I’m excited to continue growing in the field and making a difference in the lives of children and families!
