Working at the intersection of disability and employment, I use storytelling to normalize what it’s like to live with a disability and explore issues of accessibility in the workplace, drawing on my professional expertise and lived experience as a multiply disabled person. Learn more about me and my work.
My work in accessibility spans consulting, academic accommodations and journalism. I have supported people with disabilities in navigating barriers to education, advised organizations on accessibility and inclusion, and written extensively about disability and workplace accessibility for a variety of media outlets. You can read more on my Accessibility Work page.
I developed and led various workshops for people who stutter at the Canadian Stuttering Association’s annual conference. This includes workshops related to disability disclosure during job interviews, advocacy, as well as an improv session.
In addition to writing, I’ve ventured out of my comfort zone and into improv, first by taking classes at Second City, then by forming my own improv troupe, Coffee Breath. We’ve performed on multiple stages, including Comedy Bar and Bad Dog Theatre.
My love for performing and public speaking has also prompted me to get into stand-up comedy. I’ve performed in shows at Free Times Cafe and in Black Sheep Comedy’s competition at 120 Diner (pictured below). I won first place in the latter.
