Quantum Rehab has added a pair of brand ambassadors to its team.
In an Oct. 9 news announcement, the manufacturer said Elizabeth McCormick and Keith Russell have been chosen as the newest Q Roll Model winners. During the two-month entry period, Quantum received nearly 100 entries from throughout the United States.
Stephanie Woodward, Brand Ambassador Coordinator, said in the announcement, “We’re excited to welcome new members to our robust team! Liz and Keith are both fun, relatable, and down-to-earth people, but they lead such different lives. Their experiences and perspectives are so unique. We can’t wait to see how each of them shares how iLevel [powered seat elevation] helps them to live their best lives!”
The two new ambassadors each will receive a three-month paid Q Roll Model agreement and a new Quantum Rehab power wheelchair.
McCormick, who has cerebral palsy, began using a power chair more often in college. She graduated SUNY Albany with a Master of Public Administration degree in 2022 and currently works as a policy analyst in state government to advocate for people with disabilities.
Russell, who was born with a spinal cord disability that severely limits his walking strength and balance, lives in Lebanon, Mo., and is a real estate agent. He has a drone pilot license and enjoys building and fabricating “all things mechanical,” the announcement said.
Via social media posts and blogs, the new ambassadors will share their experiences in using power chairs with iLevel technology. During the three Q Roll Model contests — held in 2019, 2021, and 2023 — Quantum Rehab has added 10 ambassadors to its team.
“I feel so grateful and lucky to have this opportunity,” McCormick said in the announcement. “I am excited to have a new wheelchair that works for my life and to step out of my comfort zone and work with Quantum Rehab!”
Russell said, “iLevel changes things from my level that I’ve lived my life at. With iLevel, the possibilities are endless. It’s what dreams are made of.”
