Land and Maritime senior leader promotes workforce disability awareness
COLUMBUS, Ohio — As Champion for the Persons with Disabilities Program, I thought I’d begin by telling my story.

I was diagnosed with a congenital disorder called Keratoconus where my corneas were more conically shaped instead of curved. Not only could I not have the Lasik surgery, but I learned that unless I had treatment, I’d lose my sight.
