My name is Darlene Hunter and I have been on the USA Women's Wheelchair Basketball team since 2010. This will be my 3rd Paralympics and I am the co-captain of the team. I am also a Professor in Practice at University of Texas at Arlington in Social Work teaching Disability and Social Work. I love my job because I get to teach about disability and Paralympics everyday! I get to change the perspective of disability every semester and the way I live my life.
