Kevin Hoyos

Hi, my name is Kevin Hoyos, and I am so proud to be part of the inaugural team at Behavioral Karma. My experience in this field spans 5 years, starting in 2021 during COVID where I started off working as a DSP based on some recommendations from friends, and the rest was history. I immediately fell in love with the field, particularly the hands-on role in maximizing the quality of life for those who may not be able to do so themselves. So much so that the very next semester, I switched my major to a double major in psychology and cognitive science. I hope to build my career within and alongside this foundation for a long time to come, eventually pursuing a PsyD in Clinical Neuropsychology or a BCBA-D.
