Two blind professionals went from no Windows or screen reader experience to working accessibility testers in under a year. Michaela Griffin studied music therapy, then taught herself to code. Tiffany Zhao has a cognitive science degree and a very analytical mind, Bee calling her the most analytical tester he's come across. Both graduated from the CAT program in spring 2026 and are now AccessAbility Officer apprentices, testing websites and logging WCAG violations as real careers.
