Inspiring the Next Generation: Accessibility Careers at Highline Public Schools
When Candace Field studied interior design, she never expected it would lead to a career in accessibility. But her early work in the hospitality industry required an understanding of federal building codes and regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). That experience eventually guided her to her current role as Facilities Accessibility Program Manager, ensuring Port of Seattle facilities like Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) are accessible to all travelers.
