Amelia Flores

(she/her/hers), Access Manager

About

Amelia has been at Western for 6 years and has been with the DAC all the while in various capacities. First as a student, earning her B.A. through the Environmental College. Although environmentalism and disability services and disability theory on paper seem different, the mission of the DAC and the ADEI unit at-large serves as a real-world example of intersectionalism by centering the lived experiences of marginalized groups, increase access, equity, and inclusion through transformative and inclusive practices. 

Amelia now has the opportunity to work as an Access Manager and enjoys building relationships across the campus community and addressing barriers to create an equitable and accessible educational experience for students at Western. She is currently working on the final phases of her research for her Master's at Royal Roads University and although she has little free time these days, she enjoys collecting and listening to records, knitting, watching old movies, and spending quality time with loved ones.
