About me:

My path to digital accessibility began in the classroom. With six years of one-on-one tutoring and five years of substitute teaching, I learned how different people access, understand, and use information. Many of my students came from Spanish-speaking homes or had specific disabilities, which naturally led me to specialize in adapting materials so that no learner would fall behind.

In 2022, I brought that same commitment to inclusion into the technology sector. To build on that experience, I earned my CPACC certification and completed the extensive DHS Section 508 Trusted Tester program. Today, I combine empathy with structured, code-level auditing. Whether using manual tools like ANDI to map out reading and tab order or ensuring alignment with WCAG standards, I help organizations build digital experiences that welcome all users.

My Document Remediation and Accessible Web Content Projects.

Some features I have included:

• Tagging blocks of text within a document appropirately based on heading level, paragraph text, and similar features.

• Writing alt text so that screen reader users can get the same information given in pictures or graphics.

• Marking the scope as column or row on simple data tables, and combined scope marking on complex tables.

• Incorporating different design techniques for accessibility from the beginning. (Examples: A combination of colors to allow for sufficent contrast, using easily readable fonts, adding Alt Text to images so screen readers can read a description of the image out loud to users with little or no vision.)

Here are some of my Work Samples (The remediated version of a document that wasn't accessible at first):

• Report Sample: Work Safety Issues and Attitudes in various Australian workplaces. Report Sample: Work Safety Issues and Attitudes in various Australian workplaces.
