Maia Miller, BA Honours, is the Accessibility Services Manager at Catalyst IT, where she works with clients and our own teams to train them in web accessibility practices in all stages of the software development life cycle and content creation via various training programmes, peer reviews, and audits.
In this episode we talk about the importance of web accessibility, how you can make media content available accessibly so that it's not just text that you can add to your portfolio. We also talk about Maia's career path and how she got into tech with a bachelor's degree in humanities.
