RETAIN
Responsibilities: Provide administrative support to the Retaining Employment and Talent After Injury/Illness Network (RETAIN). As such, I get to work with several different committees, community programs, and individuals. I also co-coordinate our HDI Peer Disability Mentorship Program, which lead to pursuing a disability mentoring certification through the National Disability Mentoring Coalition.
Experiences: Before coming to HDI, I worked for the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation for about 8 1/2 years, which included work with the Kentucky Assistive Technology Service Network (KATS). Other work experience mirrors work focused on individuals across the lifespan.
Reason: To ensure an accessible digital experience for all OVR program participants and staff.
Research: Accessibility, Assistive Technology, Walking, Camping.
