Julia lost her job because of MS. Now, she's fighting to help others deal with disability in the workforce. MS is usually diagnosed between the ages of 20 to 49. It can be devastating to people who have spent time and invested money into their careers and then they are told they are no longer a valuable member of the workforce. We discuss ways to stay employed while working with a disability.   

Julia is the current Lead Volunteer for Government Relations for the MS Society Atlantic Division and runs the largest public library in Fredericton, NB.
