Working Blind

Interdependence is key for this blind communications officer. Interview with Kevin Satizabal.

Kevin works as a communications officer for a sight loss organisation in the United Kingdom. Originally from Colombia, he returned to the UK when he was in primary school and had to adapt to learning assistive technology while also learning English. This helped him develop a love of languages, something which is an important part of his career now. He explored his love of music throughout his childhood and has gone on to tour the world with the orchestras he is a member of.
