 My name is Celene, and I’m originally from Tucson, though, I’ve lived in Flagstaff for the past 6 years! I came here to go to NAU and study social work, but I soon found working in the mental health field is where I want to be. I have years of experience in rehabilitation, inpatient behavioral health care, and many volunteering events to help my community. Prior to being at Kaibab, I worked in a psychiatric hospital, where my passion for helping people grew. It’s always been important to me to meet any situation with an open mind, empathy, and compassion. Working with people to enhance their quality of life- to become the best versions of themselves brings me lots of joy. When I’m not at work, I love to travel, hike, go to concerts, and hang out with my friends! Better yet, my favorite thing to do is explore Flagstaff with my dog (and best friend) Genevieve!  

 My name is  Anna Chase, and I am a Behavior Technician with Kaibab Behavioral Services. I have over 10 years experience working in early childhood settings around Flagstaff. 

In 2017, I received my undergraduate degree in early childhood education from Grand Canyon University. I am currently in my graduate program at Northern Arizona University studying to become an ABA Therapist with the goal of becoming a BCBA. I have always loved and have had a passion for working with children. 

Outside of work and school, I am busy being a mom to my two kids and love spending quality time with my husband and friends.
