Hi, I’m Krista!

I work as a technologist and “nerd” who is passionate about all things technology, accessibility, learning and development, and solutions engineering. I am currently the Global Advisor of Verizon’s Disability & Neurodiversity focused ERG (employee resource group) and a Distinguished Architect and senior engineer working on IoT. I also work with teams focused on accessibility governance issues and future technologies (like AI, 5G, and “Smart” infrastructures)- all of which allows me to combine my advocacy work for diversity, accessibility, and inclusion with my experience as a technology evangelist.

Outside of corporate life, I am a stroke survivor, classically trained musician, avid lover of the outdoors, and insatiable reader. I also am a long time yoga practitioner/teacher, photographer, and artist.
