Biogram

From 2000 to 2024, I worked in the NGO sector. First almost 15 years in an association and then in a social cooperative.

I have always been professionally connected with the area of disability. I pay special attention to places where disability comes into contact with the environment because that's where the most needed adjustments can be made.

I am well versed in the accessibility of physical and virtual spaces for people with different characteristics. I have participated in many activities seeking adequate solutions for people with disabilities, seniors, people temporarily experiencing mobility or perception limitations.

I was a member of the Accessibility Council under the Minister of Development in its first term.

Zainteresowania
