***For the approximately 10 years prior to this position, I’ve been on disability due to the removal of a brain tumor. I’ve worked very hard to overcome issues I was left with after my surgery. Social Security has a program called Ticket to Work. It was developed to help people on disability a helping hand toward rejoining the workforce. While not able to return to my former job classifications, I’m now working toward finding a new career.***
