Advancing quality captioning standards through advocacy, collaboration, and technology has always been at the core of my professional endeavors. With this vision, I am excited to bring my distinctive expertise and passion to the Global Alliance Board, furthering our shared commitment to accessible communication.

Since becoming a member of the Global Alliance, I have delved deeply into our common cause, striving to ensure quality captioning through various avenues. My previous hands-on experience with internal style guides and my contributions to the ATSP certification committee provide a solid foundation to enhance the mission of this alliance further.

Recognizing the rich diversity within the Global Alliance membership, I value our unique blend of providers, consumers, and tech companies, all dedicated to improving accessibility. As a former professional musician and educator, collaboration has always been a key element in my success, and I am eager to bring these collaborative skills to Global Alliance.

I am excited to use my growing network and increasing webinar appearances to promote Global Alliance and our work. Drawing on my understanding of digital marketing strategies and technologies, I believe I can contribute positively to enhancing our online presence and reach.

In this rapidly evolving digital world, maintaining high-quality accessibility standards is crucial. I am confident that my distinctive mix of expertise, experience, and passion makes me an ideal candidate for the Global Alliance Board. I am committed to fostering the collaboration, innovation, and inclusivity necessary to navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead, propelling our collective mission forward.
