Digital Accessibility
Specialist, Front-end Developer,
Universal Design Enthusiast.
I'm a Digital Accessibility Specialist striving to develop and implement strategies to create accessible, user-friendly digital content that meets the needs of diverse users. My enthusiasm for problem-solving, dedication to equity and inclusivity, and passion for universal design drive my work as a digital accessibility professional.
As a DHS Trusted Tester with in-depth knowledge of WCAG and
Section 508 standards, I have the expertise and skills to help
organizations achieve and maintain compliance with digital
accessibility requirements.
So, what do Section 508 and WCAG entail? In short, these are sets
of guidelines that ensure that digital content and products (such
as websites, documents, and multimedia) are accessible to people
with disabilities. Section 508 is a law that requires federal
agencies to make electronic and information technology (EIT)
accessible, while WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is a
set of international guidelines that apply to all types of digital
content.
I have extensive experience overseeing 508 compliance and accessibility at high federal standards. I have a track record of successfully navigating complex accessibility challenges and working collaboratively with cross-functional teams to deliver accessible digital products.
Universal design is an approach that aims to create environments
and products that are usable by as many people as possible,
regardless of their abilities or disabilities. With a
user-centered approach and attention to detail, principals of
universal design inspire my quest to make inclusive digital
content that is accessible and engaging for all users.

Much of the accessibility work I have done is difficult to display publicly due to the inherently behind-the-scenes nature of the industry, or because of contractual obligations, propietary agreements, and non-disclosure contracts.
