Yes, I’m legally blind but that didn’t stop me!
My disability became my ability to play elite sports, travel the world and educate myself on 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.
