Staff

The staff and leadership of Accessibility Resources are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and equitable academic environment where all students have the opportunity to participate fully and succeed.

Grounded in a commitment to access, collaboration, and student empowerment, our team works to reduce barriers and support students with disabilities through thoughtful accommodations, advocacy, and personalized guidance.

By partnering closely with students, faculty, and campus stakeholders, Accessibility Resources helps cultivate a culture of accessibility that extends beyond basic compliance. In alignment with the principles of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, we strive to create an environment where differences in ability are recognized, respected, and supported—so every student can fully engage in their academic experience
