“As a member of the ADA-Generation, I have been fortunate to benefit from the protections of this ground-breaking law for the majority of my lifetime. I chose to become a lawyer with a focus in disability rights in part to honor the sacrifices of the community leaders who paved the way for equal access to opportunities—like the legal education that I enjoyed. I consider it an honor to devote a significant part of my life to carrying the charge for community integration and to encouraging others I meet to recognize the value, perspective, and versatility that people with disabilities can bring to any table.”
