For over 20 years, my passion in life has been making the digital world more accessible for people with disabilities, in different North American settings and contexts, as a web developer, archivist, librarian, and since 2016, as a senior accessibility consultant. I do a lot of accessibility (physical and digital) and disability related research, and research studies, for businesses and organizations. I share my digital accessibility knowledge through workshops, presentations, courses, training, facilitation, audits, procurement consulting, etc. I love helping clients lower barriers for people with disabilities in websites, documents, audio, video, apps, email, e-books (EPUBs), social media, etc.My company, Access Changes Everything Inc. has offices in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Sackville, New Brunswick. Clients come from all over North America. I have been an accessibility advocate for over 20 years, and an internationally recognized expert in archival accessibility since 2010. I have done a lot of work with legislation. I was Chair of the Government of Manitoba's, Accessibility for Manitobans Act, Information and Communications Standard Development Committee.
