OAE Leadership

Ake Saethia, M.B.A., M.S.W.
Disability Advising Manager

Hello there!  I'm Ake Saethia (he/him), Disability Advising Manager at the Office of Accessible Education.  I studied Sociology, and Education at the University of California, Irvine, and obtained a Masters in both Business Administration and Social Work from the University of Southern California.  Since 2012, my focus has been working with students with disabilities in college settings.  In my free time, I like to hang out with family and friends, and get outdoors. My goal is to connect with your specific disability situation, and work together to figure out how we can meet your access needs.

Antonia DeMichiel, M.A.
Disability Advising Manager

Hello! I’m Antonia DeMichiel (she/her), Disability Advising Manager at the Office of Accessible Education. I studied International Studies with a focus on Development in Latin America at the University of Oregon and hold a Master’s in Higher Education and Student Affairs from the University of San Francisco. 

A native of Berkeley, I have been working in Disability Services since 2018 at a variety of institution types around the Bay Area. My work is informed by my lived experience as a physically disabled woman, the social model of disability, and tenets of the disability justice movement. My goal is to partner with students, faculty and campus partners to understand the impacts of your disability and remove barriers that inhibit an equitable academic and campus experience here at Stanford. In my free time I enjoy traveling, exploring new restaurants, hanging out with my calico cat, Molly, and working on my postcard collecting hobby.

Diane Abundabar, M.Ed.
Operations & Student Registration Manager

Kamusta! I’m Diane Abundabar, OAE's Operations & Student Registration Manager. I hold a M.Ed. in Higher Education Administration and a Graduate Certificate in Institutional Research from Penn State University, as well as a B.A. in Communication Design from California State University, Chico. My passion lies in enhancing students' inclusion, belonging, and success during their time on campus.

Before joining OAE, I spent 15 years with Stanford’s Office for Religious & Spiritual Life (ORSL) at Memorial Church, where I served as the Director of Events and Rathbun Program Manager. In this role, I oversaw a variety of programming and significant campus events, including Baccalaureate. Prior to Stanford, I worked with Educational Talent Search at my alma mater, CSU, Chico—a federally funded TRiO program aimed at motivating first-generation and low-income students to pursue higher education.

I'm a Bay Area native from Vallejo. I enjoy traveling, spending time with my extended family, watching K-dramas, and attending concerts. I especially love cooking and eating Filipino food.

Lisa Radloff
Alternate Format & Assistive Technology Manager

Hello!  My name is Lisa Radloff (she/her). I joined the alt format & assistive technology team as their manager in August, 2025. I've most recently come from CVS Health as Director of Inclusive Design but I previously worked at the Stanford Graduate School of Business for nearly 17 years in many different capacities including UX Design, Design Thinking, Business Analysis and Accessibility. I am thrilled to be back at Stanford joining this team of world class experts. I feel passionately about being an advocate on behalf of people with disabilities and working toward providing equitable access for disabled Stanford students. Outside of work, I volunteer on several nonprofit boards, scuba dive, do DIY projects, adopt cats, hike, read, travel, and cook.

Retnika Devasher, M.A., M.Sc.
Accommodations & CTC Manager

Hello! I’m Retnika Devasher (she/her), Accommodations and CTC Manager at the Office of Accessible Education. I earned double Master’s in Hospitality and Tourism Management, one from Canada and another from India. Prior to joining Stanford University, I spent over seven years at the University of Waterloo, Canada where I supported students with academic accommodations and managed the exam center. My journey at Stanford began in the Earth Systems Program at the Doerr School of Sustainability, where I was part of the Student Services team.

I’m passionate about supporting students with disabilities to excel both professionally and personally by developing needed resources and collaborating with campus partners / faculty to ensure these resources meet students’ needs. Outside of work, I enjoy a lazy weekend by the beach, hiking through the forests, or exploring new cities with my husband. I’m always open to recommendations – come say hi.

Shelley Hou '00, M.A. '03
Director of Technology

Hi there! I'm Shelley (they/them, she/her), the Director of Technology here at the Office of Accessible Education. I came to Stanford as a pre-med undergrad and majored in Biology and Anthropology before earning a master's degree in Anthropology. One of my first jobs on campus was with this office, driving other students to their classes in a golf cart. From DisGo driver to lab assistant; Accommodations Coordinator to Manager; and now as Director of Tech, I've seen the OAE grow and evolve to meet the rising needs of our student population. I'm very proud to have designed and implemented OAE | CONNECT, continuing to oversee its ongoing development and administration; enterprise assistive technology; and alternate format production. 

As a 1.5 generation immigrant from Taiwan, "family" is spread over multiple time zones, born of blood and curated by choice. My wife and I have a kid in college on the east coast and a 60-lb fur baby/lapdog. I spend downtime reading or farming (in Stardew Valley); trying to organize the chaos around me; and attempting an endless list of DIY projects.
