JOB DESCRIPTION

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a lady in my 30’s living in the Porth area with my husband, 3 children, and my dog. I have Friedreich’s Ataxia, a rare, inherited, degenerative disease that damages the spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and the cerebellum portion of the brain. When I am tired, my speech and hearing are not as clear. I was born with the condition, diagnosed at 10, and my condition has worsened over time. I have been a wheelchair user since I was 17. I enjoy shopping, going to the cinema, and dining out.
