About Derek Ball

Hello, my name is Derek Ball. I am 29 years old and graduated from Arizona State University majoring in Psychology with a minor in Criminology. In addition, I also graduated with my Masters in Special Education with an emphasis of Applied Behavior Analysis. While I was in college at ASU I worked at In-N-Out and I worked there for 2 years and that is where I gained a lot of my excellent customer service. I have also worked for Starbucks where our goal is to go above and beyond with every single customer that we encounter. After graduating with my Bachelors I went into the ABA world and worked as a Registered Behavior Technician. I grew to love the field and went back to school to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. I finished collecting my field hours in September 2022 and passed my BCBA exam October 2024! I am currently working at Action Behavior Centers in the role as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
