Senior🎓
Top SchoolCherish Prazeres is a Senior IT Accessibility Specialist with nine years of experience designing and auditing accessible digital experiences across higher education and consulting environments. She blends hands-on web development (WordPress, single-page apps, HTML/CSS/JS) with deep expertise in WCAG conformance, assistive technologies, VPAT/ACR authoring, and accessibility program development. At Rutgers and Kutztown she has led campus-wide training, policy-driven audits, and remediation efforts, and at Level Access she managed audits and SOPs for high-value clients. Cherish pairs technical remediation skills with user-focused UX training from a Master’s in User Experience Design, making her adept at translating complex accessibility requirements into practical solutions for non-technical stakeholders. She’s known for building reproducible processes and training teams—often reducing escalations and accelerating remediation—while still shipping clean, usable front-end implementations.
