Marianne Zammit has a hearing impairment and following a motor vehicle accident in which she fractured her skull she also now suffers short term memory loss and tinitis. Marianne wondered if she would ever find full time work again but with assistance from CRS Australia, who helped Marianne develop her interview skills, she now has full time secretarial work. She still finds the time to care for her 19 month old son.
