Dr. R. Nicolle Carr started her education at Oklahoma City University's psychology program before heading down to Austin to attend the University of Texas’s psychology/behavior neuroscience department. She worked in two labs concurrently - one studying the effect of conditioning on the mating behavior of quail and another lab learning genetic sequencing, slicing brain tissue, and metabolic imaging. Finally, she left with a PhD and joined the 9 to 5 rat race at a residential treatment facility for individuals with significant behavior problems. In 2008, she became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and has been teaching both online and in person for more than 20 years. Back in Oklahoma for the past 10 years, she has consulted in various school districts on functional behavior assessment development and provided district-wide classroom management trainings. It was during this time that she noted how many times what is learned in general applied behavior analysis (ABA) textbooks or journal articles doesn’t always translate into classrooms. For 4 years, she also served as the Director of the ABA program at the University of Oklahoma and helped many students on their own certification journey. Most recently, she became the Clinical Director of an ABA clinic in a rural area of Oklahoma. Dr. Carr has written chapters on ethics in research methods and ethics in rural treatment in ABA. She has served as the secretary of the ABAi’s Ethics SIG and founded the Oklahoma chapter of ABAi (OKABA). Across the last decade, she has served on conference panels, given invited lectures, and 8-hour workshops related to using ABA in schools. When not working, Dr. Carr enjoys pushing her physical limits. In June 2014, 2016, and 2018, she and her husband hiked 210 miles of a pilgrimage called the Camino de Santiago across Spain. In July 2022, they summited Kilimanjaro―the most amazing and brutal hiking experience ever!
