I’ve been working with accessibility for about ten years. I have also worked as a UX Designer for about fifteen years. I’ve worked with governments, enterprise businesses, educational institutions and small IT shops.

A few highlights of my work:

• Helped the University of Minnesota in their efforts to make a PeopleSoft site accessible using a Javascript overlay.
• Prepared an Accessibility Approach and Plan document for a T-Mobile redesign.
• Helped Getwell Network make their hospital-based platform accessible.
• Trained staff at CalPERS (California Public Employee Retirement System) and the Legislative Data Center to test, validate and fix accessibility issues.
• Served as SME for the State of California EDD modernization project
• Served as accessibility expert for the National Institute of Standards and Technology to define standards for accessibility in cloud computing.

I love making the web a better place for the 20% of the population who are challenged with disabilities. By including this population in our design, copy and coding decisions, we make the world a more compassionate, empathetic place to live.
