[nabs-l] Introduction from a new list member

[Lucy Sirianni]

Hi all,

   I'm Lucy Sirianni, a new member of this group.  Some of you 
may recognize my name from other listservs, but for those who 
don't know me, let me briefly introduce myself.  I'm a doctoral 
student who has been totally blind since birth due to Leber's 
Congenital Amaurosis.  After growing up in Minnesota, where I 
homeschooled along with my three younger (sighted) siblings, I 
did my undergraduate work at Johns Hopkins, majoring in English, 
and I'm now working toward my Ph.D.  in English at Berkeley, 
preparing to become a literature professor once I've finished the 
program.  If there's anything else I can share that might be of 
help or of interest, please don't hesitate to ask.

   I'm glad to have finally joined this list, and I look forward 
to being part of the group!

Best,

Lucy
