Meet Liz Bottner; a 508 Compliance Analyst in the digital accessibility space for Sierra7, Inc. in Washington DC. She is also the Vice President of the Penny Forward Board of Directors and the co-host and co-producer of the Penny Forward podcast. She is a certified Assistive Technology Instructional Specialist (CATIS) and Certified Vision Rehabilitation Therapist (CVRT), Liz credits her initial interest in the blindness rehabilitation field to those positive blindness rehabilitation professionals she had in her life early on who helped set her up for success in terms of being able to effectively navigate through the world despite having vision loss. Liz enjoys running (with and without her Guiding Eyes Running guide dog) and serving as goalie in playing blind hockey, especially for the Hartford Braillers-Connecticut’s blind ice hockey team. Join us as we learn more about Liz’s path toward an enriching independent life and the roles she’s taken along the way.
