About Rafael T.
I\'m passionate about capacity-building for accessibility, that is, establishing systems within an organization or government to enable persons with disabilities to realize their rights. My international experience includes sign language interpreting in various countries and collaborating with professionals from diverse cultural backgrounds. I provide consulting expertise on linguistic and cultural matters and have developed policies and procedures for accessibility. As a trainer and presenter, I\'ve conducted workshops worldwide. Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Interpretation and Translation, and I completed a Full-Stack Web Developer Coding Bootcamp. I\'m committed to advancing accessibility for a more inclusive world.
