From her many hospital beds, to board rooms and onto the public stage, Louise Levesque Burley uses her life experience to engage individuals, organizations and all those she meets in a journey through disability etiquette. Louise is interested in everyone’s story.

With over 10 years experience as a senior manager in the non-profit world, Louise has in-depth personal knowledge of working in and with community. After major changes in her life, Louise evolved into a speaker, coach, facilitator and author. In 2010, she published her first book Through my Eyes – INsights into Disability Etiquette, and in 2015 she produced her Cookin’ without Lookin’ video series.

Since 2005, Louise has operated Shared Vision Partagée. In 2009, she was the first ever bilingual, non-sighted Canadian to graduate with the Diploma of Adult Education from Saint Francis Xavier University.

As she journeys through life, and despite her physical challenges, Louise enjoys travelling, wine-tasting, dancing, singing, walking on the beach, experiencing the sounds of nature, and changing the lives of all those she encounters.

Louise and her guide dog, Mr. Fig, follow his mantra: keep it fun!

Together they look forward to joining the AMI Community Reporter team.
