[nabs-l] New on NABS mailing list

[Katie Wang]

Hello, Mikaela,
  welcome to the list!My name is Katie and I live in Connecticut. I'm
a first-year graduate student at Yale University studying social
psychology. I'm fairly new to the list myself and have found it very
informative, so I hope you will feel the same! I'm sure we will all
learn much from you as well given your musical skills as well as your
unique challenges of dealing with dwarfism in addition to your visual
impairment. Look forward to seeing posts from you in the future!
   Katie
