My background spans disability and accessibility, law and policy, education, writing, community organizing, and the arts. That means my work doesn’t always fit neatly into one box — and I like it that way.
I work with organizations, communities, and individuals who want to make something more accessible, more understandable, more welcoming, or simply better.
Sometimes that means helping an organization think through an accessibility problem. Sometimes it means leading a workshop. Sometimes it means editing a piece of writing until it finally says what someone wanted it to say.
I have skills! Let’s put them to work!
Here are some of the ways we can work together:
✦ Accessibility & Disability Access
Accessibility can seem complicated. I can help make it practical.
I work with organizations, businesses, arts and cultural spaces, nonprofits, community groups, and individuals that want to make their work more accessible to disabled people.
That might mean reviewing something you already have, helping you plan something new, answering a specific accessibility question, thinking through a workplace accommodation, or looking at the bigger picture with you.
Projects might include: accessibility reviews of programs, events, spaces, or communications; accessible event planning; plain-language and accessible communications; accessibility strategy; ADA consultation; workplace accommodation processes and practices; accommodation brainstorming and research; or practical recommendations for improving participation.
I approach this work collaboratively, drawing on both professional and lived experience. I don't assume there's one right answer for every person or workplace. The goal isn't perfection or checking a box. It's figuring out what barriers exist and what we can actually do about them.
✦ Accountability & Access Support
Sometimes the hardest part of getting something done is getting started.
I offer one-on-one virtual sessions for people who could use another person in their corner while they work through the things that keep getting stuck.
Maybe you have ADHD or struggle with executive functioning. Maybe you're disabled and trying to figure out a better way to work or study. Or maybe you just have six emails, multiple forms, and a dreaded phone call you've been avoiding for weeks.
We can use our time to work quietly together, break an overwhelming project into manageable pieces, make a plan, organize your thoughts, or troubleshoot what's making something harder than it needs to be.
I can also help brainstorm practical accessibility strategies and accommodation ideas for work or school.
You don't need a diagnosis. You don't even need to know exactly what you need. Bring the thing you're stuck on and we'll start there.
✦ Speaking & Training
I design and lead engaging talks, workshops, trainings, panels, and facilitated conversations about disability, accessibility, culture, and belonging.
I especially love working with groups that want something more interesting than a two-hour PowerPoint about compliance.
Possible topics include accessibility fundamentals, disability rights and disability culture, designing accessible events and programs, communicating about disability, moving beyond compliance, disability and sexuality, and the history and future of disability advocacy.
Trainings can be adapted for workplaces, nonprofits, universities, arts organizations, community groups, conferences, and other audiences.
Give me a microphone. I have thoughts.
✦ Writing, Editing & Research
Good writing makes complicated things easier to understand.
I take on freelance writing, editing, proofreading, and research projects for individuals and organizations. I can help shape an idea from the beginning, untangle a draft that's gotten unwieldy, track down the information you need, or give something a final polish before it goes out into the world.
Projects might include: reports and educational materials; accessibility and disability-related content; plain-language editing; policy or legal research; research assistance; substantive editing; proofreading; résumé and cover-letter editing; or other projects involving a lot of words and not quite enough time.
I’m particularly good at taking complicated information and making it clear without making it boring.
Have something else in mind?
If you’re working on something involving accessibility, disability, writing, education, art, community, or bringing people together and think I might be useful, I want to hear about it.
Projects can be one-time or ongoing, and I’m available for freelance, contract, consulting, speaking, and collaborative work.
