There are those who use the slightest reason not to fulfill their life's purpose. And then there is Carina Comer, founder and owner of Carina's Vegan Bakery located in Beaverton, Oregon.

Born with a brain tumor that took most of her sight, Carina Comer is the epitome of someone who succeeds against all the odds. With drive and aspirations far beyond what most would dare to dream, Carina inspires others to live fully each and every day.

A vegan for over a decade, Carina found her passion for baking when she was just a child. She set her sights on getting a job in the industry.

After getting a pastry degree and doing several free internships, Carina could not find a job in the industry. She then went to grad school, hoping this would help her land a position, but realized she was on an uphill climb.

This is when she decided to start her own bakery, but it had a twist. She used a three prong approach to business.

1. Vegan

2. Scandanavian

3. Hiring people with disabilities

Find out why all three are so important to Carina.
