New episode of Sightless Voices: Unleashing Potential available now!
Jennifer sits down with Kathy Gallagher, a lifelong blind professional, guide dog user, and longtime leader connected to National Industries for the Blind.
Kathy lost her vision by age five, grew up fully included in school, and found freedom through her guide dogs. She opens up about breaking into her first job and the barriers blind professionals still face today.
“I didn’t feel like I experienced discrimination until I went to look for a job.”
Kathy shares how she built a career in HR, championed training and leadership pathways for blind employees, and why she believes blind jobseekers should be proactive, persistent, and unapologetically qualified.
