Shelly is a peer mentor with the Independent Living Movement Ireland, with a passion for technology in particular Assistive Technology and the barriers it can break down for disabled people. She likes the fact that technology puts everyone on an even playing field, which is why human rights for disabled people are so important to her. She directs her own Personal assistants service through her own company Shellyonwheels and giving disabled people complete control over their own lives is very important to her.
