ADAPTABLE SKILLS AND FLEXIBLE CAREERS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
Vocational training gave Cassidy Nilles a flexible career.
MDA Ambassador Cassidy
Nilles launched her career through vocational training and plans to take that
route again when she reenters the workforce.
While
growing up in the Chicago suburbs, she wanted to be a hairstylist. She liked
the idea of being her own boss and having a career right out of high school.
“From
junior year on, I spent every day of the week training for what I wanted to
do,” Cassidy says.
“I lived
and worked in Los Angeles for about three years — as long as I could after
being diagnosed with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy [LGMD] at age 20.”
She liked
controlling her destiny and earning money via talent and hard work.
