Introducing Mike, one of our new community interns

MikeBroderick

Hi. I’m Mike Broderick. I am one of the new Online Community Interns here at Scope.

I’m passionate about helping people and, when I saw the opportunity to work with and assist other disabled people, I just had to apply.

I have a wide-ranging professional background including being a self-employed Voice-over Artist, many years in local government Economic Development, and experience in disability services and education.

I also once lived and worked for two years in Sri Lanka where I taught English as a Second Language as a Volunteer for the U.S. Peace Corps.

I have CP (lifelong crutch user), am a sports fanatic (all the Boston teams and Tottenham Hotspur), and love the movies, crime novels, and the martial arts.

Originally from the USA, I live on a small island with my wife and our Tibetan Terrier.

I look forward to meeting you!

HI Mike,

Good to have you on board. I am looking for a summer job for my teenager son who has CMT and scoliosis and is in wheelchair. You might be able to help

Hi @jackiewackie:

Thank you. I appreciate it.

We moved your original post into the discussions on Employment issues, finances, and ESA, so I will make a fuller response there.
