She is the founder of AccessNow which is a app and website that allows people to look for places and figure out if they are accessible or not.  The app allows people around the world to contribute information on whether certain establishments are accessible to people with disabilities. Her goal for the future is to map accessible places around the world and also educate others on how to invest in the city to make it accessible for everyone.
