A Thanksgiving Thank you from Sophia Kipp, Beyond Vision Employee of the Year 2016 –
When asked what she’s thankful for, she simply replied, “Two things. My family first and then my job.” Without your involvement, many of our employees wouldn’t have been able to achieve what they have today.
We are all thankful for your support. Please remember to donate on Giving Tuesday. You 
allow us to continue to enrich the lives of Americans who are blind through the dignity of work valued by customers and the community.
About Sophia:
Diagnosed with retinis pigmentosa in her twenties, Sophia worked in various assembly and machining jobs until 2010, when her husband read an article about Beyond Vision. Unaware that any employer focused on employing people with vision impairment, Sophia visited the agency, applied for a position and, drawing on her previous work experience, hit the ground running. Sophia produces quality work in any position, but truly excels in assembling privacy filters, earning her the nickname “Queen of the Privacy Filter Room.” A member of the Quality Work Environment Team, Sophia keeps the environment fun and light while encouraging her co-workers to give their best. Outside of work, she loves spending time with her family.
