Hey! it’s me

I was never supposed to make it past five.

That’s what they told my parents when I was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 2 as a baby. No treatment. No cure. Just a lifetime of challenges they weren’t sure I’d get to experience.

Fast forward 42 years, and I’m still here—living, thriving, and proving every limitation wrong.

My Reality

I roll through life in a power wheelchair, not because it defines me, but because it fuels my independence. I’ve built a career, traveled, started businesses, and found creative ways to adapt to a world that wasn’t designed for me.

I’ve also fought—hard—for the right to exist in spaces that often forget about people like me.

That fight led me to accessibility consulting, where I now help businesses, venues, and organizations make real, practical changes so people with disabilities (and honestly, everyone else) can navigate their spaces with ease.

Access, Impact, Action

You have the power to create real change, and I’m here to help you do it.

Whether you’re looking to make your business, venue, or public space more accessible, I’ll work with you to create practical, real-world solutions that welcome everyone with ease.

If you’re a brand that values inclusivity, let’s collaborate to showcase diversity in a way that’s authentic and impactful—through products, campaigns, and storytelling that truly matter.

And if you need a speaker who keeps it real, I bring engaging, eye-opening conversations about disability, resilience, and accessibility that will challenge perspectives and inspire action. However we work together, one thing’s for sure—we’re about to make big moves.
