** PODCAST EPISODE REPOST**

This week's podcast repost features Kelly Twichel. Kelly is an occupational therapist and CEO of the award-winning accessibility startup Access Trax. At 12 years old, Kelly made the commitment to pursue a career in healthcare; her mom had suffered a massive stroke and she wanted to help others like those who helped her mom. Her journey to entrepreneurship began in 2016 at grad school.

As an occupational therapy student at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences, Kelly was inspired by local SoCal adaptive surfers to co-invent portable mats that empower people with physical disabilities to easily traverse outdoor terrain like sand at the beach. In 2018, Kelly launched Access Trax which has since served families, nonprofits and governments across 18 countries. Kelly enjoys volunteering at adaptive sport events and encouraging the next generation of social impact entrepreneurs.

Learn more about her in this week's podcast! Transcript is available, as well.

Sharing this with all our Centers for Independent Living friends!

RTC:Rural is recruiting CILs to pilot test a transportation voucher toolkit to create their own rural transportation voucher program. Participating CILs will commit 15-20 hours a week in staff time over 2 years to build a local Transportation Interest Network and develop a strategic plan for implementing their voucher program, among other activities. Interested CILs must have rural counties in their region and no existing transportation voucher programs.
