A New Career Path for Jamiann Vaughn Henrichsen

Jamiann Vaughn Henrichsen took a new job about 20 months ago working for a company that educates and supports “Nonprofit Agencies” as compared to what she was doing for the last 14 years as a NPA…”Surviving the trenches”. Now she presents job opportunities to clients and teach new innovative ways to help Nonprofit Agencies succeed in finding jobs for people disabilities.
“I felt I was seasoned and could control speech anxiety when public speaking or of speaking in general. I do ok, but I want to be great. Truthfully, I think I could have been a great stand up comedian… Tina Fey is one of my favorites. But, we all need a day job… and somehow government contracting was my calling???”.
“Thanks whoever pulled that card for me! What I think is cool about this career path I have pursued the last 20+ years; my work has always been associated with the AbilityOne Program (formally known as JWOD). I help people with disabilities find jobs. And that’s cool!!! The same person that pulled my career card putting me on this path also thought I was strong enough to: Support, Educate, Unite and Celebrate children with limb differences. My son was born in 2008 with ABS (Amniotic Band Syndrome) and I have been blessed with a miracle he is a tough, kind and determined little shit. Missing three fingers on his left hand will never stop him.”
