I’m passionate about accessible transport, aviation and access for all in all areas of life.

I champion the social model of disability, and I use my lived experience to find realistic solutions.
As a former journalist for 20 years, I worked for leading British and German news companies and covered current affairs and news events worldwide; additionally, I founded a newspaper and received the “Female Entrepreneur of the year” award for this startup. I have delivered talks and presentations at dozens of conferences and events in several countries in two languages.
I love travelling, and I am passionate about transport access for all. I believe everyone should be able to travel the world. Following this belief, I have developed strategies and training for organisations that approached me to help them improve accessibility and inclusion. My company Ortegalink Ltd is a boutique consultancy that supports enterprises of all sizes, from small businesses to Stock Exchange-listed companies, including leading airlines, airports and transport providers.
