Who I Am

I am a blend of my experiences, passions, and the values I hold dear. I strive for personal growth, constantly seeking knowledge and new challenges. I value integrity, kindness, and resilience, and these principles guide both my personal and professional life. I am deeply passionate about accessibility and disability inclusion advocacy, which allows me to express my support and find fulfillment. Professionally, I am the ADA Coordinator and Accessibility Policy Advisor at the NYC DOT, committed to making meaningful contributions towards making NYC accessible and disability inclusive. I find joy in connecting with others, learning from diverse perspectives, and contributing to something bigger than myself. At the end of the day, I see myself as a work in progress—someone always evolving, learning, and becoming the best version of who I am meant to be.

What I Do

As the ADA Coordinator, I do the following, and much more:

  • Ensure compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations
  • Serve as a liaison between people with disabilities and the NYC DOT
  • Conduct accessibility audits
  • Resolve complaints
  • Collaborate with other City agencies such as the Department of Parks and Recreation
