Communication Innovation: The ABLED System
The following is the pitch deck for the capstone project of my Masters of Science in Communications, earned at Syracuse University in 2022. The goal of the capstone project was to produce an innovation in the field of communications management. As a disabled person and employee, creating and supporting disability access and understanding within corporate DE&I initiatives is a lifelong passion of mine.

One Transgender Veteran’s Story
It’s estimated that over 134,000 American veterans are transgender, and over 15,000 trans people currently serve in military. Due to discrimination and lack of access to medical care, transgender veterans are at a higher risk of dying by suicide, living in poverty, and experiencing homelessness or housing instability.
For more information on transgender servicemembers and veterans, please visit: Trans Equality.org
In 2017, former President Trump signed a directive that effectively banned otherwise qualified transgender Americans from serving in the military.
On January 25th, 2021 President Biden signed an executive order allowing all qualified Americans to serve their country in uniform, effectively repealing the previous administration’s ban.
If you, a friend, or a loved one are transgender, gender non-conforming, or questioning, please visit PFLAG’s (Parents and Friends of Gays and Lesbians) website for support and more information. Available at the link is a free, downloadable PDF booklet “Our Trans Loved Ones” a comprehensive guide “written by PFLAG staff members, and created with the help of content experts, reviewers, and PFLAGers with experience to share; OUR TRANS LOVED ONES is full of information, first-person stories, and expert input geared to those who have a loved one who has come out as trans or gender expansive.”
