Passion for Inclusive Design
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with diverse individuals and utilized my M.Ed. in High Incidence Disabilities and Behavioral Disorders to build better experiences for users. My passion for accessibility started in the classroom. Lately, I’ve been learning more about how to build accessible designs that everyone can use.
