Disability & Cultural Inclusion Educator | Higher Education Professional | Speaker, Writer & Advocate

What makes us different is not a flaw in the pattern—it is part of what makes the tapestry beautiful.

Welcome to a space woven from lived experience, education, advocacy, and purpose.

My work sits at the intersection of disability, culture, education, and advocacy. This portfolio brings together the experiences, scholarship, community work, and creative projects that continue to shape my journey as an educator and higher education professional.

Higher Education & Research

My work in higher education centers on student support, access, and belonging. Through research, academic study, and professional practice, I explore how colleges and universities can better serve diverse students and create more equitable learning environments.

Teaching, Speaking & Writing

I use teaching, writing, and public speaking to create spaces for reflection, learning, and meaningful conversation. My work blends lived experience, storytelling, education, and advocacy to deepen understanding of disability, identity, inclusion, and representation.

Disability & Cultural

My work at the intersection of disability and culture focuses on creating spaces where people are seen, valued, and included. I‘m especially interested in how identity, language, culture, and accessibility shape a person’s sense of belonging in education and in the community.
