Blind Abilities

Introducing Laura Wolke: From an Unsatisfied Job to Law Student to Lawyer to Clerk of the US Supreme Court… and, an “Old Friend”

Blind Abilities presents this special interview with Laura Wolke. 

Laura initially began a career as a social worker in Philadelphia, with clients who were primarily Medicare recipients, planning to get her PhD and  go into counseling or become a psychologist.
