As a Team Lead for the Disability Inclusion Leaders (DIL) program, I had the opportunity to work with Roxy during her time as a DIL. Roxy brought a unique and important perspective to the group — not only as a person with a disability, but also as a small business owner committed to creating more inclusive opportunities for others.
Her passion for disability employment was clear, especially in her work with Deloitte, where she contributed ideas on how MassAbility could better support disabled entrepreneurs. She also participated in focus groups throughout the program, offering insights that helped shape our collective understanding of accessibility and inclusion from a business owner’s lens.
One of Roxy’s standout strengths is her ability to connect with people. She’s a natural at engaging with others and has a strong presence in the disability community. Whether networking at events or speaking with local leaders, Roxy brings energy and authenticity to the room.
It’s been valuable having her voice in the DIL program, and I’m excited to see where her passion for inclusion and community-building takes her next.
