Learning a New Keyboard

I thought that learning to touch type was one of my greatest accomplishments as a kid. I felt so pleased. So one New Year’s Eve as I was bored, I decided I would learn Dvorak. I love knowing two keyboards.

MoMath

I work at the National Museum of Mathematics and love it! It reminds me of when I used to volunteer at the library. I enjoy getting to help people understand our exhibits and have fun all throughout the day.
