Meet the facilitator:
Rachel is the Training and Outreach Manager for the Office of Information Technology’s digital accessibility program. She helps empower the campus community to create digital environments and materials that are accessible to all people. At Princeton, she creates training and resources to help onboard new users to DubBot, Princeton’s website accessibility monitoring tool. She also manages outreach efforts throughout the institution and beyond by spreading awareness about digital accessibility, helping learners establish a growth mindset, and transferring new digital accessibility skill sets to learners. Rachel has a background in the creative arts, receiving an MFA in Creative Writing with an emphasis in poetry from the CU Boulder. For several years after her MFA, she worked as a lecturer in poetics and literature. She uses her experience as a lecturer in a creative field to help her create training programs in tech that don’t feel too techy. In 2021, Rachel graduated with a second MA in Learning Design and Technology with an emphasis in adult learning from the University of Colorado Denver. Her research focused on digital accessibility and universal design for learning in higher education, which is where her digital accessibility journey began.
