Experience

For the last 25 years, I have served in a leadership role in two companies that have a mission of helping all learners, including those with complex learning barriers, soar with the right tools and educational materials. I am currently the president of Building Wings, that provides special educators with instructional learning materials for learners of all ages. I was the vice president of Don Johnston, Inc. a company that offers AT tools for learners with dyslexia and dysgraphia. I am and have been a vocal proponent and advocate of assistive technology in the work I do, presentations I've made and on social media. I have established relationships with educators, administrators, service providers and organizations around the U.S. which gives me insight into the educational and policy needs to increase the awareness, acceptance and value of AT for individuals of all ages and in many settings. I am also an adult with learning disabilities who knows first hand how it feels.
