California (USA), 1970

Accessibility Developer, working at Igalia since October 2011

about me

From 1996 until 2011, Joanmarie was an instructor and consultant working with individuals who are blind or visually impaired. For the last five years of that period, she has also been an active member of the GNOME Accessibility Team and a developer of the Orca screen reader, a project she has led since 2010. Joining the Accessibility Group at Igalia has made it possible for Joanmarie to move the development of free software for persons with disabilities from a spare-time effort to her primary focus.

When she is not working, Joanmarie enjoys vegetarian cooking and baking, trying new beers, reading novels, perusing the OED, and attempting to progress beyond the "Dora la Exploradora" level of Spanish. She presently telecommutes from her home in New Hampshire.
