Accessibility Advocate

I am dedicated to an accessible and inclusive future. A nationally recognized specialist in museum accessibility, and with Heather co-wrote The Art of Access: A Practical Guide for Museum Accessibility, to serve as a resource for individuals wanting to make their museums accessible, regardless of size or budget. I bring over 10 years of experience leading accessibility initiatives at large museums, during which time I have collaborated with project managers, exhibition designers, and curators on installations that harness universal design principles and implement tailored multimodal experiences to connect visitors with an exhibition’s unique storyline.

A unique asset I bring is a strong foundation in community-based work--I endeavor to center community voices in co-visioned projects--which has led to the creation of deep relationships with the Denver disability community. I bring a creative and collaborative approach to projects, tapping into the lived experiences of disabled community members as well as the expertise of other accessibility experts here in our own backyard. Centering the voices of community members, especially those with disabilities, will ensure this reinstallation is relevant, purposeful, and human-centered.
