How did you get involved with the Independent Living Movement?

Throughout my career, I have been passionate about producing video and photography content for non-profit organizations. After reading about the history of the Independent Living Movement and CIL, I was immediately drawn to the organization and excited to use my creative skills to showcase CIL’s programs. My time with CIL has expanded my knowledge and appreciation of the Independent Living Movement and how CIL supports the community.
