#Disabled people drive the economy too—but only if we’re given the resources to thrive. Adequate support means we can cover basic needs and spend on things beyond #disability costs. Want a stronger economy? Start investing in us. #DisabilityEconomics #EquityMatters ♿

My work shows that reducing everyday barriers, like transportation, can transform access to work and community life.

I am completing my PhD in May 2026 & am excited to connect about opportunities to continue this work! 6/6 #EconJobMarket #LaborEcon #DisabilityEconomics
