“I am eager to recommend Katie for anything she's trying to do. Katie brings credibility to an accessibility program, digging into challenges an organization faces by non-conformance with international accessibility rules, guidelines, laws, and regulations. She asks the right questions, will find solutions, creates plans, builds relationships, and shares an unparalleled breadth and depth of experience and knowledge in the field of accessibility and compliance with civil rights protections. After working with Katie for a short time, you will find yourself asking, “what would Katie do?” when presented with a challenge. Answering honestly will get you a good result.”
