Web Design Specialist at Ohio DEW who raised site accessibility from 65% to 85%.

At the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, I raised the site accessibility score from 65% to 85% by remediating WCAG 2.2 issues. I also led an audit of more than 19,000 web pages and documents, reducing outdated or redundant content by 60%.

I developed a reusable front-end component library and style guide, and directed a website content separation and platform migration that established a 600-plus-page site. Earlier, at the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, I introduced the office's first formal accessibility workflow for digital publications.
