Accessibility at Every Touchpoint
I am a Certified Professional Accessibility Specialist (CPACC) skilled in Section 508 and W3C WCAG Accessibility evaluations, offering both manual and automated testing, along software remediation services.
Empowering All Users
Accessibility goes beyond just adhering to legal standards; it focuses on fostering inclusive experiences that enable individuals with disabilities to live independently, learn, work, and engage fully in society.
By eliminating obstacles and making technology accessible to all, we can create a more equitable and inclusive world.
Frustrating Digital Experiences Exclude
Picture attempting to use a website or app, only to discover it's nearly impossible to navigate, the text is hard to read, or the controls are puzzling.
This is the experience for countless individuals with disabilities. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that around 1.3 billion people globally live with significant disabilities.
Digital experiences that lack accessibility create obstacles, restricting access to information, services, and opportunities.
Don't treat accessibility as an afterthought.
Designing Accessible and Inclusive Healthcare Experiences
As a CPACC Specialist with a proven track record in government contracting, I'm passionate about ensuring digital equity in healthcare. I leverage my expertise in Section 508 compliance to create accessible and inclusive solutions that meet the needs of all users, including individuals with disabilities.
​
I go beyond basic compliance. I employ universal design principles to create solutions that are usable and enjoyable by everyone, regardless of their abilities. This includes conducting thorough accessibility audits, identifying and remediating barriers, and advocating for inclusive design throughout the entire development process.
​
Whether it's improving website accessibility, ensuring the usability of mobile applications for patients and providers, or making telehealth services accessible to all, I collaborate closely with you to create truly inclusive and equitable healthcare experiences that meet the highest standards of accessibility.
