He has some reddish stubble that highlights his engaging smile. ](/sites/g/files/omnuum12446/files/styles/hwp_4_5__480x600/public/hwp3/files/img_6467_1.jpg?itok=iH_O_ItJ) 

 



 





 

Before becoming a Digital Accessibility Developer I worked at Harvard Business Publishing as the Associate Director of Content Production where I supervised the production of Higher Ed content. As the AD of Content Production I infused accessibility into our production process and worked hard to spread this mindset across Higher Ed through policy, guidelines, outreach and advocacy. I have an M.S. in Library and Information Science and an M.A. in Liberal Studies from City University New York. I am very excited to join the Digital Accessibility Services team and contribute to the continued improvement of digital accessibility at Harvard and to learn from my colleagues.
