Being blind in one eye has not stopped a 31-year-old social worker at Child Welfare SA Helderberg from pursuing her dreams both academically and in sport, as she continues to strive towards personal accomplishments and inspire others.
In the Walt Disney film Dumbo, he could always fly but just needed a feather to help him believe.
I have had many feathers in my life. These are the people that played a significant role in making sure that I could grow up and lead a happy, healthy and independent life as a blind woman in a sighted world.
I was diagnosed with Stargardt’s disease a degenerative eye condition at the age of 11, and it was my parents who first swooped in like Dumbo’s feather to change the course of my life.
I cannot imagine how devastating it was for them to hear that I was legally blind. Yet even in that life-changing moment, I remember my mum wiping tears away from her face and saying to me: “You are amazing, you can do anything and your disability does not define who you are.” It is this absolute belief in me that has allowed me to do so much in my life from skydiving in Argentina to riding motorbikes in Vietnam.
