Disability Civic Engagement Expert

About Me

Hi! I am a Northern Virginia-based disability civic engagement expert, speaker, and consultant. I’m passionate about bringing underrepresented groups to the table and giving them the tools to engage in our democracy.

My work spans the civic engagement spectrum, but I am particularly passionate about protecting access to voting rights, ensuring that voter education is accessible, and encouraging disabled leaders to run for office.

As a policy and advocacy expert, I have worked with organizations in disability rights, civil rights, and progressive spaces to protect voting access, educate election officials, break down barriers to civic engagement, and encourage civic participation.

My work has been featured in TIME Magazine, Teen Vogue, Nonprofit Quarterly, Washington Post, and Huffington Post.
