In 1995, Dr. Sapp began her career as a teacher of students with visual impairments and later also became a Certified Orientation and Mobility Specialist. Seeing her students’ need for accessible media and technology, her career path changed.
Drawing on her experiences with students and clients, she has spent the past 16 years focused on accessible media for children and adults with all learning needs through Bridge Multimedia. Dr. Sapp has led teams to produce thousands of hours of audio description for children’s educational television programming, multiple award-winning fully accessible educational games and apps, video podcasts for Deaf audiences, ASL production for television programming, and fully accessible videos on procuring accessible media for students. Through this work, Dr. Sapp conducts iterative testing to continually push the bounds of accessibility and improve accessibility experiences.
From 2020-22, Dr. Sapp served on the Federal Communications Commission’s Disability Advisory Committee. Dr. Sapp presents nationally and internationally on improving accessibility in all types of media.
