As an accessibility professional and disability rights advocate, I believe in a user-focused approach to ensuring access-for-all in technology. When we understand the different barriers people face, it makes accessibility real, and allows us to get beyond just the standards or simple compliance. With 17 years working in accessibility at global corporations, it is my honor to join Harvard in leading by accessible example, as a member of the talented new Digital Accessibility Services (DAS) team.
