My name is Tommie Roesch and I am a certified Blind and low Vision teacher, and an Orientation and Mobility instructor. I have been in the blind and low vision field for 25 years. I have spent most of this time in Ohio teaching at various school districts. I have been in Indiana for nine years and I enjoy working in Indiana. In addition, I have been working with students in Illinois both virtually and in person. One of my favorite things to teach is Braille because it is both challenging and very well organized to teach. I love to read and write in braille, and my favorite things to do is Nemeth code, math problems. In particular, I love to do calculus in Nemeth code for the fun of it. Teaching Nemeth code is a lot of fun and it opens the student to a world of math that we would not get in another form of Braille. In addition, I love to work with students out in the community and give them real-life experiences through my orientation and mobility degree. It is great to be able to use both of my degrees in a way that challenges the students and creates a wonderful way of educating the whole student. It gives me great joy to see a student thrive and reach for the stars.
