Dr. Ulbricht moved to Baltimore to complete a two-year LEND postdoctoral fellowship at Kennedy Krieger Institute/Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, where she received further training in Autism and diagnostic assessment of neurodevelopmental disabilities. Throughout her education, she valued working in collaborative teams and learned much from colleagues across disciplines.

Following postdoc, Dr. Ulbricht joined the Military Health System and spent 10 years as the Service Chief for the outpatient Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Service at Fort Belvoir Community Hospital (now A.T.
