Centering Accessibility
My mission is to make the world a more accessible place for all.
As an Accessibility Advocate focused on organizational leadership and change, I provide proactive and responsive support for institutions and organizations to enhance inclusivity and accessibility for all through the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Framework. I collaborate and partner with leaders, staff, faculty, administrators, UX designers and other partners to dismantle barriers to access.

Business Analyst
"Our conversation was great because it helped me understand aspects of my course preparation that were helpful (things I should keep doing) and things I could improve on (things I should start doing). I was also able to think about ways of improving my lecture content that I had not considered before. I really enjoyed the entire process, and was very thankful for the thoroughness shown by Ellen in reviewing my course."
Faculty Member
"Ellen is the go to person for issues concerning accessibility and inclusivity. She can discuss at micro and macro levels, so it was extremely helpful in thinking about how we can begin approaching a unit level shift in addressing accessibility issues through an equity lens. "
