A young entrepreneur is hoping to make New Zealand a more accessible place for people with physical disabilities.

Daisy Hoe is a 17-year-old wheelchair user based in Taupō. 

She is developing a tech platform, Go Able which will allow users to find and review accessible locations. 

As well as making life easier for thousands of people, she hopes her story will shine a light on the accessibility gap in New Zealand.
