Listen Later

Life can change in an instant, and when it does, it can often feel like you’re facing it alone. Hear from an incredibly inspiring community leader who has dedicated her life to supporting others who have faced challenges similar to her own.

Rebecca Shields is a true example of resilience and service. She lives by the powerful belief that life isn’t about what you can get from others, but what you can give. In 2008, Rebecca founded New Vision Professional Services, a community-centered organization that provides vital resources to individuals experiencing vision loss or navigating other quality-of-life challenges.

Rebecca takes us through her personal journey, her educational background, and the mission that drives her work. Through New Vision, she offers a variety of classes designed to empower and promote independence, including braille, cooking, daily living skills, financial management, and orientation and mobility training.
