Im an evangelist and educator of inclusive design and accessibility within Fannie Mae.

Through my contributions at Fannie Mae, I'm proud to have been a part of the inclusion and accessibility efforts that resulted in us making the 2020 Disability Equality Index® (DEI) list, as well as empowering employees and sharing the benefits of accessible features through our tools.
