Autorenporträt
Frankie Ann Marcille is a legally blind author, educator, and advocate from southeastern Connecticut, currently residing in Manhattan, New York. At three months old, she was diagnosed with septo-optic dysplasia; a condition that resulted in legal blindness. Frankie Ann has spent her entire life adapting to her visual impairment, learning to never let it hold her back, and advocating for others to do the same! She earned her BA in Theatre Arts from Western Connecticut State University and is currently studying to obtain her M.Ed. in Vision Rehabilitation Therapy/Orientation and Mobility from Hunter College. Over the past decade, Frankie Ann has traveled the country, teaching and advocating for individuals of all ages with multiple disabilities. Most recently, she has been working as a Mentor and Teacher for two of the Utah School for the Deaf and Blind's virtual learning programs. She has recently joined the team at Elle Jones Casting Company; representing and advocating for accessibility for disabled actors. When she's not advocating, Frankie Ann enjoys going on adventures with her boyfriend, Jim, spending a weekend at the beach with her family, hiking, dancing, reading, and of course... writing! She is a contributing writer for blogs such as "Paths to Technology" (run by the Perkins School for the Blind), "Anxiously Blogging" (testimonials on living with anxiety, run by Mareena Bartelli), and "Chickadee Collective" (a resource for female artists who want to take control of their careers, run by Tara Llewellyn). She also runs her own advocacy/accessibility blog called "Blind Ambition". Frankie Ann could not be more excited to be fulfilling her lifelong dream of being an author and sharing her story with you!
