My Travel Story

by: Ellie Gibbia Start Date: Sep 25, 2020 - End Date: Mar 24, 2021
My name is Ellie and I am a student at St. Petersburg College. I am 43 and working on Bachelors's Degree in Business Management in Human Resources. In March of 2019, I suffered 5 massive strokes after a motorcycle accident. The strokes left me legally blind, so I am starting all over. I am now on disability but plan to go back into the workforce after receiving my degree. For 25 years before my accident, I worked for big global companies in Payroll and Benefits. I had to relearn how to use the computer with my new vision. I believe going to Spain to learn Spanish would be a great opportunity for me, but I need help financially to do so.
