Our Team

Diliana Henry, MPA, BCBA

Chief Executive Officer

The world of ABA is a second career for me. After completing a master’s degree in Public Administration, I started my career in management consulting and transitioned to banking and corporate finance at JP Morgan Chase.

My husband and I founded BrightBloom Centers out of necessity for our son Alex. The organization, the people, and our commitment to make a difference became my passion and true calling. I wake up happy and excited every day to see what’s in store for us.
