BioHi,
I am a junior double majoring in journalism and sociology. I have worked and retired two black lab guide dogs, Valerie 2006-2007 and Zorro 2008-2009. I am in the process of applying to The Guide Dog Foundation and Fidelco for a new one and hope they will find a good match for me soon. I am the copy editor for spectrum, a community magazine for permanent residents of Columbia and Montour counties, and that takes much of my time, especially if each story needs to go through ten drafts. I also work with children and a few adults, helping them learn Braille, teaching them Jaws, Openbook, the Braillenote and other technology, and helping them with blindness info in general. Most of the kids I work with are ill; they have brain tumors, a stroke, heart problems, and other disabilities besides blindness, and I enjoy it more than I ever thought I would. In my spare time or when I am procrastinating, I love to shop, meet new people, debate/argue politics religion ETC, discuss guide dogs and service dogs, and read lots and lots of books, especially mysteries and Harry Potter fanfiction.
