Unfortunately I have developed peripheral neuropathy, a disability that has made my chosen career as a chef no longer possible for me.I have since returned home and I am now in need of a position that will allow me to work remotely from home in order to accommodate my disability, but will also allow me to spend more time with my little girl. |
