In Whitney’s Own Words…
I live, work, and am raising my family in Austin, Texas, where I find daily inspiration in this community’s robust creativity and heart. A proud mom of three and lifelong advocate for equity, I bring humor, heart, and a deeply personal understanding of disability inclusion to my daily life.
When I’m not leading workshops or writing about inclusive leadership, you’ll find me finding renewed life through coffee, exploring systems strategy over sushi, or laughing with my daughters while bemoaning the Texas heat.
Fun Fact: I have a musical theatre song or song lyric for nearly every occasion!
