Summary
I have over 27 years of experience working in Higher Education supporting technology, and both physical and digital accessibility concerns. I have had the opportunity to work in many teams and on a variety of projects. In most positions
I served as the team or project lead. This has afforded me a unique set of experiences in which to learn and many opportunities to use that knowledge to mentor and foster the talent
I see around me.
