Professional life
I am a Digital Accessibility Specialist based in Sydney, Australia working on all things WCAG and overall accessibility/usability of websites and web apps.
I consult with clients to provide web accessibility reviews and guidance on their designs and implementation of digital delivery projects, enabling them to deliver more inclusive and accessible experiences to their users and customers.
Throughout the years I have worked with many public and private sector clients. You can see my full work experience on LinkedIn.
