Digital Accessibility

I'm a digital accessibility professional with over ten years of experience helping higher education institutions create inclusive, compliant, and user-centered digital experiences. My work sits at the intersection of accessibility, digital marketing, and web standards, with a particular focus on translating, WCAG and ADA standards into practical, real-world solutions. I specialize in identifying gaps between automated testing and actual user experience, and I'm passionate about moving organizations beyond checkbox compliance toward accessibility practices that genuinely serve students, faculty, and staff. Through consulting, auditing, and education, I help teams build digital environments that are both effective and equitable.
