I spent much of my adult life living in New York, NY; Washington,D.C.; Denver, CO; Cincinnati, OH; only to relocate back to New York about 5 years ago. I have worked in tech for 15 years in various accessibility states to include: FrontEnd, BackEnd, User Experience (UX), User Interface (UI) and Assistive Technology.

Welcome to Get Accessible - I am looking forward to meeting everyone on this platform.
