Professional experience

Accessibility expertise, built in the field.

Accessibility testing, training, and leadership across digital, mobile, document, and retail experiences. This page centers capabilities I can verify from my own professional background.

What I bring

Capability areas where I can contribute directly for W2 or contract roles.

Accessibility testing

Professional testing, measurement, and research with people — not simulations presented as lived experience.

Accessibility testing across web, mobile, and documents — including WCAG evaluation, assistive-technology testing, and remediation guidance. Findings are reported precisely, prioritized by impact, and paired with practical next steps.

Training & leadership

Building teams’ capability, not dependency.

Role-specific accessibility training, working sessions, document guidance, and cross-functional collaboration with design, product, engineering, and content teams. I help teams apply accessibility as a consistent practice rather than a final checklist.

Product & retail context

Where digital meets physical.

Hands-on assessment of product packaging, instructions, and retail touchpoints — with the same rigor applied to digital experiences, and with clear boundaries about what simulation can and cannot demonstrate.
