Corrinne Lockamy has felt the unwanted stares when she uses her motorized scooter or wheelchair.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPeople assume a lot because of how someone looks,\u201d said Lockamy, who was born with cerebral palsy. \u201cI try my best as a person to talk to people about disabilities and my story.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The 42-year-old is doing just that at Miami Dade College as the <\/span>director of A Comprehensive Center for Exceptional Student Services at Hialeah Campus<\/a><\/span>, a department that supports students with disabilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ACCESS ensures they get services such as notetakers, sign language interpreters, adaptive or assistive technology and more. Lockamy also does classroom presentations to share her story.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, two years ago she created the Ability Ally Workshop held monthly throughout the College to increase awareness of the challenges students with disabilities face<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCorrinne is one of the kindest people and [she] will drop everything to help someone,\u201d said Kelly Kennedy, an English professor at Hialeah Campus. \u201cWithout individuals like Corrinne in ACCESS, our students with special needs would not have the advocates they so desperately need and deserve.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Her Early Life<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Lockamy weighed two and a half pounds when she was born in 1979. She was the first baby born that small to survive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When she was 13, her mom, Sharrel, succumbed to cancer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI remember it being very traumatic,\u201d Lockamy said. \u201cI wasn\u2019t a happy soul when my mom passed away. She used to take me to therapy and take care of me. My dad was more of the provider of our household so he didn\u2019t cook; he had to learn. I remember wearing pink socks to class because my dad didn\u2019t take the red clothes out of the white laundry or he\u2019d make something to eat that I was allergic to. I\u2019ve learned in some way to find humor and grace even in my saddest moments because being upset isn\u2019t going to do me any good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After graduating from Cooper City High School in 1998, Lockamy went to Broward College but dropped out several times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When she was 22, her father\u2014Ernest\u2014died in his sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lockamy then moved to New York, but soon realized the city wasn\u2019t for her because the cold weather made her muscles hurt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2002, she moved back to Miami and attended Barry University in Miami Shores where she earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n

By 2008, Lockamy had a master\u2019s degree from Nova Southeastern University in college student affairs and conflict resolution. Since then, she has added a doctorate degree in educational leadership and administration.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Career At MDC<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Lockamy started working at Miami Dade College in 2008 through the AmeriCorps VISTA <\/span>program as a coordinator in the Center for Community Involvement at Hialeah Campus, later renamed the Institute for Civic Engagement and Democracy. Lockamy oversaw academic service-learning projects and worked with professors to create class and campus projects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Then for almost three years, she was an academic advisor and career placement specialist for STEM students at the campus.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2012, Lockamy was hired as the iCED director at the Eduardo J. Padr\u00f3n and Hialeah campuses. She was responsible for the college\u2019s year-round voter registration drive and piloted a project with Motivote to get students engaged in political and social activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to distinguish between one\u2019s title and the work one does,\u201d said Michelle Ploetz, dean of faculty at Hialeah Campus. \u201cCorrinne empowers students, disabled and not, in many ways. She helps students with disabilities participate in college, but she also educates students about what it means to be a full participant in society, whether by voting, doing service-learning, or becoming civic-minded.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lockamy has served as director of ACCESS at Hialeah Campus since January of 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHaving a disability is a crazy challenge,\u201d Lockamy said. \u201c[but] it\u2019s the way my life is and I\u2019ve learned to figure out how to live with it.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
