The Accessibility NTA is a program that supports disability-focused nonprofit organizations with access to enterprise technology and grants to best serve the disability community. Today, we’re launching Microsoft’s Accessibility Nonprofit Tech Accelerator (NTA) program. It is an honor to lead the Access Technology Program at Microsoft in a role that leverages my passion for technology to advance programs of disability organizations globally. My early experiences volunteering alongside organizations empowered me to find my own voice in sharing my disability journey and laid the foundation for what would become my career in accessibility. To give back, I began working as a local Ambassador for a nonprofit, raising awareness and funds to further research, access to devices, and support people like myself living with neuromuscular disabilities.
Support from community organizations provided my single mother funding for gas to travel between my hospital appointments from our rural hometown and a wheelchair when denied by Medicaid.
As someone born with a complex mobility disability, I have personally experienced the profound impact of services offered by nonprofit organizations throughout my life.
