She then began her career and Blindness rehab rehabilitation. Christine worked at the Denver public library as occurs while trainer, Nebraska services for the visually impaired as a rehab rehabilitation teacher, orientation and mobility instructor and counselor; at the New Mexico Commission for the Blind as a grant writer and then founded The summer training and employment program in New Mexico. Returning to Nebraska she attended Creighton University school of law and after passing the bar Christine worked for a Nationwide law firm doing defense work for the hospitality industry. The family moved to Pennsylvania where Christine wasn't associate attorney in the office of chief council for the governor of Pennsylvania and the Department of labor and industry. She directed the Pennsylvania bureau of blindness and visual services after writing the legislation that successfully transferred the bureau away from welfare but kept it as a separate bureau in labor and industry. She then worked as corporate council for blind industries and services of Maryland, comprehensive adult rehab rehabilitation training center director in Kalamazoo Michigan, and briefly as an interim superintendent at the Oklahoma school for the blind and visually impaired. Christine now lives in Nebraska and hopes to return to the practice of law after overcoming a severely disabling condition as a result of the Covid vaccine.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal
