About the founder

I'm Mara, founder of Embrace Access. When a video has no captions or a website can't be read by a screen reader, real people get excluded. I got tired of watching it happen. So I build marketing designed for everyone from the first draft: brands, videos, and campaigns that reach the whole audience your story deserves.

Working with Mara and Embrace Access has been a gamechanger. Her creativity, consistency, and passion for serving the disability community have strengthened CSNA’s [Community Service Networking Alliance] voice and impact.

Mara has done an incredible job promoting CSNA, elevating our branding, managing newsletter updates, and creating engaging social posts that keep community partners and advocates informed and connected. She communicates with purpose and has a natural ability to build trust and meaningful relationships.

Her work has expanded awareness, strengthened partnerships, and supported CSNA’s mission of connecting individuals with disabilities and their families to valuable resources and care. Mara brings heart, strategy, and follow-through to everything she does, and I am truly grateful for her partnership.
