Undergraduate - Bachelor of Science
Disability Policy Fellow

I am a senior at the University of Arizona and will soon receive a BA in Human services. I aspire to then obtain a Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling and then a doctoral in Disability Science. My goal is to advocate and assure accessibility for disabled people on the academic, state, and eventually, national level. I am an L1 paraplegic and I am Deaf, so I know how important policy change can be. I believe that any decisions that are made on behalf of the disabled community should include disabled voices. So, I am excited to be a part of this policy fellowship and learn how to further help my community.
