Having spent the last 16 years of my life in a wheelchair, living as a quadriplegic, I have experienced firsthand the immense need and lack of inclusive environments and communities.

A natural problem solver, I began my career familiarizing myself with Universal Design standards and worked as a consultant providing accessibility audits, assessments, and consultation to architects and designers on built environments.

After recognizing a substantial gap in this industry, I chose to start my own business Universal Access (now Included By Design), specializing in consulting and certifying spaces as accessible locations.

I have worked through select AODA training courses that include (but not limited to); Customer Service Standard along with Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation (IASR). I have also been trained to assess spaces based on accessibility utilizing the AODA, ADA, and CSA standards and additional UD standards found globally.

Giving back is at the core of Included By Design. Currently, I volunteer as a Board Member for; Momo – Inclusive Dance and The Children’s Link Society. I also sit on two committees for the Calgary Ability Network (Human Rights &Transportation) and the City of Calgary Access Design committee.
