My passion is to empower individuals and organizations to maximize access for everyone, regardless of abilities. My career path has been a deeply personal one, and the lifelong experiences I carry with me have served as the catalyst and fuel to my continued dedication and commitment to inclusion and disability awareness. In my capacity at Georgia Tech, I am fortunate to be able to apply my passion and expertise in digital accessibility and User Experience (UX) to Higher Ed, government, non-profit and industry. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is observing those “aha” moments when people become aware that designing and developing more inclusive products and services is not only the right thing to do, but also translates into a smarter way of business that expands the target audience and ends up benefiting everyone. My areas of specific focus and expertise include accessibility and user experience testing, training, meeting compliance requirements, incorporating best practice, providing technical assistance, and publishing extensive product reviews of technology solutions for people with disabilities.Education and Certifications include: • UX Certification (Nielson Norman Group)• IAAP Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC)• Certified Assistive Technology Instructional Specialist (CATIS)• Certified Vision Rehabilitation Therapist (CVRT)• Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist (COMS)• BA (Psychology)• Advanced Technical Writer Certificate (JER Group)
