Hello, my name is Lindsey Hanson! I grew up in northern WI and completed my graduate degree training at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, obtaining my MA in Vocational Rehabilitation (VR). After graduating from college in 2006, I began my career with the Sate of MN working as VR Counselor at State Services for the Blind (SSB). My current role at SSB is as the Employment & Training Manger, where I support a talented team of employment specialists, assistive technologists, and trainers, all focusing on employment and independence for blind, low vision, and Deafblind Minnesotans. I’m so excited to step into this actional role as ERAF Manager that supports MN small businesses in tapping into a wider pool of skilled workers!
