MJ founded NTI in 1995. Convinced that people with severe physical disabilities would welcome the chance to work from home, she pioneered research into placing this population into jobs as virtual call center agents. She has helped NTI win telework grants from the US Department of Rehabilitation Services, the Department of Labor, and the Mott, Robert Wood Johnston, Fidelity and AT&T Foundations. MJ telecommutes to NTI's Boston headquarters from her home in California and travels often to Washington DC to meet with potential government clients. She received her doctorate in Behavioral Psychology from Boston University and completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Tufts New England School of Medicine.
