Lead Community Inspector
Marissa brings a unique combination of lived experience and professional background in marketing to her work in digital accessibility. Her perspective is grounded in how people actually navigate digital environments, not just how they are intended to function.
Diagnosed at a young age with uveitis, an autoimmune condition that impacted her vision, Marissa spent much of her life adapting while continuing to pursue her goals. Despite progressive vision loss and multiple surgeries that left her blind in one eye, she completed her degree in communications, public relations, and advertising and built an early career in marketing. Her experience includes work with organizations such as Disneyland and Marriott, where she developed a strong foundation in customer experience and communication.
As her vision continued to decline, Marissa made the decision to pivot rather than step away. Following the loss of her remaining vision, she began intensive training through Braille Institute, where she learned screen reader technology (JAWS), braille, and mobility skills. During this time, she also became actively involved in the disability community and advocacy efforts, including work with the American Association of People with Disabilities in Washington, D.C.
Today, Marissa applies both her technical training and lived experience to accessibility testing and evaluation. She works directly with digital products and websites, helping identify real-world barriers that impact users who rely on assistive technologies. Her background in marketing also informs her perspective on how accessibility intersects with user experience, communication, and brand trust.
At Accessibilities, Marissa plays a critical role in ensuring that accessibility is evaluated through the lens of actual users, not just technical standards. Her work helps bridge the gap between compliance and usability, providing insight into how digital experiences perform for people who are blind or have low vision.
Marissa is passionate about making accessibility a normal and expected part of how organizations build and communicate. She brings a thoughtful, practical, and deeply human perspective to every project, shaped by both her professional experience and her own journey.
Community Inspector
Connie is a community accessibility tester at Accessibilities, bringing direct lived experience as a low vision user to the inspection process. Diagnosed at age 21 with Stargardt disease, a genetic retinal condition that causes progressive central vision loss, Connie has developed a deep understanding of how digital experiences function in real-world conditions for users with visual impairments.
She regularly relies on assistive technologies including screen readers, screen magnification, and high-contrast display settings to navigate websites and digital platforms. This day-to-day
experience informs her work, allowing her to evaluate accessibility not just from a technical standpoint, but from the perspective of how content is actually perceived and used.
At Accessibilities, Connie plays a key role in validating accessibility findings through real user interaction. She tests websites using assistive technology workflows, identifying barriers related to navigation, page structure, content clarity, and screen reader usability. Her feedback helps uncover issues that may not be immediately evident through automated tools or code-level review.
Connie’s contributions strengthen the overall inspection process by bridging the gap between technical compliance and real-world usability. Her perspective ensures that accessibility efforts are grounded in actual user experience, helping organizations better understand how their digital environments perform for people with low vision and blindness.
She brings a thoughtful, practical approach to her work, shaped by her own experience navigating digital spaces. Her involvement reflects Accessibilities’ commitment to incorporating real user insight into every engagement.
