From her start as a social work student to becoming a dual-certified BCBA, Nandy shares her journey navigating clinical work, leadership, and running a business.

Nandy offers actionable tips for recognizing early signs of stress, fostering strong relationships with families, and leading teams effectively. She also shares candid insights on delegating responsibilities, maintaining a support system, and managing the “ugly cry” moments that come with entrepreneurship and high-stakes work.
