Lee earned her B.A. in Psychology from Boston University. She is program coordinator for the Brain Development and Disorders Project at MIT. Her duties include participant recruitment, organizing the BDDP Colloquium and creating and maintaining the BDDP website, among other things. Lee came to the BDDP from working in the direct service field providing therapy and training to autistic children and their families and schools. She was trained in ABA at the New England Center for Children and worked to perfect these skills and others in Floortime and Verbal Behavior at Educational Consultants of New England. Lee is currently working on her Masters in Counseling Psychology at Framingham State College. She hopes to apply this degree to working with families who have a member on the autism spectrum on adjustment and acceptance of the diagnosis. In her spare time, Lee enjoys reading non-fiction, cooking (she makes a mean spinach pie and cookies thanks to her Yia-Yias), cheering on the Red Sox and imagining her life as a Broadway musical.
