Jennifer Strickland
Senior Human Center Design, Accessibility Engineer, The MITRE Corporation

She volunteers with a number of organizations such as the U.S. Digital Response, AIGA DC (2021 DotGov Programming Director, IxDA DC (organizer), UXPA DC, and speaks on inclusion, accessibility, web performance, and CSS at a variety of events.
