About

Professional Background

I am a digital accessibility expert with over seven years of professional experience in web accessibility standards and assistive technology. My career has been dedicated to helping people who are blind or have visual impairments gain proficiency and confidence with screen reader technology in both professional and personal settings.

As someone who is blind myself, I bring both technical expertise and lived experience to everything I do. I understand firsthand the challenges and opportunities that come with navigating digital spaces as a person with a visual impairment, and I use this perspective to create practical, effective solutions.

My Mission

To empower individuals who are blind or have visual impairments by providing expert training and guidance in digital accessibility and assistive technology, enabling them to thrive in the workplace and beyond.

Experience Areas

Over the years, I have developed deep expertise in several key areas:

  • Web Accessibility Standards and WCAG 2.1 compliance
  • Screen reader training and proficiency development
  • Accessible web design and development practices
  • Workplace accessibility consulting
  • Digital inclusion strategies for organizations
  • Community support and assistive technology advocacy

Beyond Professional Work

My commitment to accessibility extends beyond professional consulting. I am actively involved in community development initiatives, particularly in South Africa, where I work on assistive technology support and community resources for people with visual impairments.

Why Accessibility Matters

Accessibility is not a feature—it’s a fundamental right. When digital spaces are truly accessible, they benefit everyone: people using screen readers, people with low vision, people with motor impairments, people using keyboard navigation, and people in diverse contexts like noisy environments or poor internet connections.

My work is driven by the belief that technology should serve everyone, and that with proper planning and expertise, true digital inclusion is achievable.
