I haven’t updated for a while, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy! You can see on my CV some of the new volunteer opportunities I’ve been undertaking, but also I have been receiving tutoring in American Sign Language! It’s a lot of fun, and I am learning a lot.

We are much closer to having the archives in order, and I haveContinue reading “Happy Halloween!”
