Since it is a business atmosphere, I would use formal of "you."

Hi Melanie,

Welcome to the forum. I will give it a shot, although I am not a native speaker.

Hello my name is Melanie. I live in Virginia and I work for a company called XXX that hires people with disabilities to work from home. I am originally from New York, but I now live in Virginia with my three daughters and husband.

Hola, cómo estan Ustedes? Me llamo Melanie. Vivo en Virginia y trabajo por una empresa llamada XXX que contrate a los mínusvalidos para trabajar desde sus hogares. Nací en Nueva York, pero vivo ahora en Virginia con mi esposo y mis tres niñas.

I have always seen "people with disabilities" termed "mínusvalidos" in Spanish. Roughly it means "less able". My dictionary also gives"descapacitados". I don´t know if there is another term more similar to the current US construction or not.

I imagine more people will weigh in on this... Good luck with your presentation!!
