Yes, I’m legally blind but that didn’t stop me!
My disability enhanced my ability to play elite sports, travel the world and share with others the need for accessibility and assistive technologies that break barriers.
I’m a gold medal Paralympian athlete and coach, and business expert in the field of inclusive and accessibility for all persons with disabilities in work, education, sport and life.
