As a disability activist and advocate, my life experiences fuels my passion for identifying, removing, and preventing barriers to accessibility. Having lived with long term and intermittent disabilities, as well as being a parent advocate for my disabled child, I empathetically understand the challenges disabled people face.

 

I serve and support advocates through coaching so they experience more ease when navigating their lives with a chronic illness and disability. Being an advocate can feel isolating and although you may know others going through similar things, no one is going through what you are at all times. What is happening for you as a disabled person, a person living with a chronic illness or supporting your child or parent through their journey can feel lonely. There are ways to access your desired outcomes with more ease. Although, no one but you can decide what that is. Your desire, your purpose, your joy are yours alone and they are the spring for which you will draw from when navigating your life.

 

My work spans from the local impact, such as serving on School District 33's Accessibility and Inclusion Advisory committees, to the provincial, such as advising for Destination British Columbia's Accessibility Inclusion committee. I bring my lived experience, entrepreneurial wisdom, education in leadership and inclusion, and my coaching skills, when I speak about disability awareness and making communities more accessible.

 

I'm excited to know you, to listen to you and to see you push past all that is limiting you.
