As part of the 11th Annual Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), Digita11y Accessible Founder Juan Olarte interviews Kara Zirkle, an educator and consultant at Dell. Kara has been in the field of accessibility for a long time, starting while still in college at George Mason University. She’s always had an interest in technology, especially with assistive technology and Section 508 coming into the conversation. From there, her career path has chosen itself and allowed her to work in government, non profits, corporate, and accessibility service companies. Within that, she’s been able to focus her career on accessibility as a Subject Matter Expert (SME), across all of these areas and it’s her passion to be able to really integrate accessibility into the infrastructure of the business and the enterprise to be able to make it more accessible for everyone.
