About Me

I ensure products are inclusive by design, not by accident. I bring accessibility data directly to C-Suite conversations, turning user friction points into strategic opportunities. I treat research, strategy, and design as a single, unified workflow.

My commitment to inclusion extends beyond the screen - I’m training as a sighted guide for the Achilles running community and beginning my journey in learning ASL.
