Hello I am legally blind I have no peripheral vision expect for upward and everything I see is doubled. The double vision feels like everything is constantly moving. I had a stroke in December 2018 at the age of 24 causing me to have optic nerve damage, temporal focal cortical damage and a neurological disorder.

I am currently not on medication for my seizures it is still a process to diagnose fully. In the meanwhile the past year I have not made any goals for the future I want to start working toward something to not feel like my life is over at 25. Every time I see the doctor its something new and I rather focus on something a lot more fun.

I am trained in voice overall, white cane use in all conditions, daily activities like shopping and cooking. I have limited energy and everything feels like its moving so work where I would be constantly moving unless sitting is not ideal. I am learning braille right now through the Hadley institute for the blind but it may take me a couple years to master it. I have friends who I met through the Canadian institute for the blind (CNIB). None of them are working due to health reasons on top of their vision so I have no one to talk about employment with. I volunteer currently as an ambassador for guest speaking for the CNIB but that is no pay. I have a diploma in graphic design, web design and photography all things that I am unable to do now due to my vision loss.

I am looking into scholarships once diagnosed with my seizures to go back to school. I thought it would be fun to see what careers others are doing with their vision impairments.
