Hi I'm Jo-Blogs. I work for NOVA Employment, which is an Australian Government funded organisation that helps people with disabilities find employment. I’m in a wheelchair & I have accomplished a lot in my 25 years. Now I want to help others with disabilities find answers and solutions to questions that might come up by sharing my personal experiences. I will also be getting stories from the news & from inspirational people that I meet.
Please feel free to comment on anything I have written or ask me a question & I will try my best to help you out! I am always looking for new story ideas so if there’s anyone out there with a disability who feels they have achieved something great and wants to be interviewed, drop me a line and I’ll see what I can do. Thanks for looking at my site..
