Bio

Trained as a tax lawyer and financial planner, I have more than 30 years’ experience serving the disability community by working toward greater economic inclusion. As a blind advocate, I have dedicated my career to partnering with other thought leaders to address the complex drivers of economic inequality and create pathways to employment and financial security for the most vulnerable communities. I work closely with and helped design and implement several corporate, government and non-profit diversity and inclusion initiatives to successfully include people with disabilities in both internal and external equity efforts. I am a member of the Experian Consumer Council, a previous member of the American Red Cross National Diversity Advisory Council for more than ten years, and a nationally recognized expert on the inclusion of people with disabilities in all aspects of civil society.
