Portfolio.
I consider myself lucky to have had such a breadth of experience with different organizations and projects across the accessibility space. From my own writing, to supporting customers and partners, to showcasing the work of leaders in the industry, my goal is to show the value of intention, collaboration, and partnership to have impact.
My blogs and articles.
Starting as something I did only for myself, I began sharing my writing with friends and it slowly transformed from ideas to connected themes about disability. The more I wrote about my experiences with adaptive sports, a changing body, and the importance of authentic disability stories and communities, the more I wanted to share it.
I'm thrilled that I've been able to share my writing with a growing list of publications from blogs to newspapers and see the conversations they've sparked. Read on for a selection of pieces I'm particularly proud of!
