Update from Mandy
Posted July 18, 2019 by Mandy Smith in Blind and Low Vision
I thought I would switch things up a bit and instead of posting about what other places were doing or events going on, I’d talk about myself. This week I celebrated 10 years at RCIL. Crazy to think how far I’ve come in those 10 years professionally and personally. The older blind program that I run has also grown so much (in 9 years) from 15 counties to 32 counties. Recently, I have been working on becoming more efficient with Braille. I passed the first course (Hadley) with flying colors and just starting the next course. (Any Braille users out there with tips let me know!) I also recently took a beginning JAWS class. So, though I’ve had this job for many years I know I’ll never know it all or enough. I’ll always be looking forward to learning that next thing to help my consumers.
Be on the lookout for updates coming soon about independent living classes for persons with vison loss and low vision fairs. If you have any questions about Braille, JAWS, or the older blind program feel free to email me at amanda.smith@rcilinc.org
