Blind student trades sight limits for tech career drive
Mary Jane Keener, 29, though blind since birth, pursues electronics with a can-do spirit. Living near Cascade with her mother, she travels by bike and motorcycle, plans mountain climbing, and sought a career in electronics while studying at Iowa State University and Kirkwood College. She completed DeVry training in Chicago and emphasizes adapting to blindness as a nuisance rather than a handicap.
