Setareh "Star" Moslemi

Setareh “Star” Moslemi received her Bachelor’s degree in Speech Language Pathology and Audiology from University of Texas at Dallas in 2013; later receiving a Master’s degree in Special Education, behavior analysis emphasis, from Texas Tech University in 2015. Ms. Moslemi’s journey of working with individuals with autism started with an internship during her Master’s program, and her passion for working with this population has not stopped growing. She received her certification in 2016 and worked as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) in an autism clinic for two years where she provided client case management, staff training, supervision, and mentorship to students seeking board certification, as well as newly certified BCBAs. During her second year as a BCBA, Star was promoted to Director of Research and Training, expanding her responsibilities to include staff training and supervision. These experiences, combined with her enthusiasm and passion for the field, have led her to continue her education at the University of North Texas as a candidate in the Behavior Analysis Doctoral program. In addition to working on her dissertation, ‘Increasing caregivers' knowledge and skills on behavior analytic strategies through an audio-only training program’, Star joined the Kristin Farmer Autism Center team as a BCBA in June 2022. When she isn’t studying or working, Star enjoys drawing, painting, and playing Piano!
