Accessibility of Services

Accessibility of Services:

Unfortunately, I do not always have the means to make something fully accessible. The majority of my work is virtual and takes a holistic approach to accessibility. I try to lower as many barriers as possible before people have to ask, such as using online forms as well, including automated captions in all my classes, and making sure there are multiple access points to my work.
