About
Organizations with public‑facing digital products carry accessibility, legal, and reputational risks that they often cannot see. Most teams do not have the internal maturity, governance structure, or clarity to identify those risks early, and that is where I come in.
I specialize in accessibility risk, governance, and systems analysis, built on a foundation of senior business analysis, workflow engineering, product ownership, and functional analysis. My work assists organizations in moving from ambiguity to clarity, from scattered efforts to structured governance, and from reactive fixes to proactive maturity.
I offer a focused Accessibility Risk and Governance Assessment that gives teams:
- A clear map of their top accessibility risks
- WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 alignment findings
- Governance and workflow gaps
- Legal and reputational exposure in plain language
- A prioritized remediation roadmap
- A leadership‑level debrief with next steps
If your organization needs clarity on accessibility risk before audits, redesigns, procurement cycles, or compliance deadlines, I can help.
