Accessibility and Accommodations

Braille and Assistive Technology Assistant at LinnBenton Lincoln ESD - Albany Oregon

From January to July of 2017, I was employed as a Braille support specialist to prepare Braille materials, direct on assistive technology and train students one-on-one to use assistive technology and encourage students in their STEM classes. My duties included the following:

• Prepared accessible materials both in Braille and 3D printed learning aids for students. Braille material included Nemeth, Spanish and UEB formats.
• Compiled written reference documentation for Duxbury and other assistive software
• Advised on additional software purchases to increase productivity for the department, such as InfyReader to convert PDF math material to an accessible Latec format.
• Worked one-on-one with blind students to complete a class focusing on 3D design, such as using a mental 3D mapping concept to code an iPad stand using OpensCad
• Built upon my skills including working as part of a team, using new and alternate assistive technologies, working with students one-on-one and problem solving technical boundaries in completing my work.

Accessibility Tester/Reviewer at Portland Community College - Portland Oregon

From 2021 to present I've worked as an accessibility reviewer testing third party websites/platforms and the college's own pages for accessibility compliance and ease of use with assistive technologies. Our team tests with all assistive software both screen readers and low vision. Companies will submit proposals for us to assess their software for accessibility and ease of use. During my time with the college we've tested services, including:

• Desmos graphing software
• CodePen
• Workday
• McGraw Hill education products
• New York Times
• Monday.com

Networking and Systems Administration

Cisco Certified

Computer networking and Cisco equipment have always captivated my interest. In February 2020, I achieved Cisco certification as a Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT). Although I narrowly missed passing the second exam of the ICND series by 25 points, I possess a robust understanding of router and switch security, the OSI model, routing protocols, link aggregation, and access lists. Transitioning from standard consumer equipment to advanced commercial Cisco equipment in my home office has been a rewarding endeavor, fueled by my passion for networking.

Windows and Directory Services

During my two-year vocational computer networking program at Eastern, I successfully passed the Microsoft MCTS exam, earning my MCTS Vista certification in 2008. While this certification has since expired, my recent degree program included a course on Microsoft Windows Server 2019. Although I am no longer Microsoft certified, I have substantial experience working with Active Directory and Directory Services. As an advanced Windows user, I have engaged in batch and PowerShell scripting, task automation, and have a strong understanding of proper Windows security practices.
