[Nfbc-sj] User Testing for Musical Screen Reader

[Amy Jine]

Hi Adrian,

Definitely. I'm always looking for others to connect with. I'm not blind
but I have friends who are blind and have a progressive view of blindness.
I will be at some of the chapter meetings as well since the nonprofit I
work with may be letting them rent space from us.

You might be a great guest speaker or mentor for my students.

415-886-7049 is my mobile. My work email is ajine at vistacenter.org

Is it okay to share this email with my boss and our Santa Cruz office?
There's a wonderful tech program at the Santa Cruz office.

Thanks.

Amy
