--- layout: simple title: "Cover Letter - VCC" --- ## Tait Hoyem Hello, Alice This will be short and sweet. Copying and explaining information in accessible ways is something I have been doing my entire life---sometimes without realizing it. As a partially-sighted student, I know what information makes sense without visuals and what information will be completely meaningless without additional context or description. I also have some background in computer science. This allows me to transcribe and explain only what is important. Somebody without this background may not know when a number being shown on screen is important or when it is genuinely meaningless. I also do not need to go back and forth to the text I am copying from to be one-hundered percent sure I have the right paranthasies, brackets, less-than signs, et cetera. All these patterns make sense to me when I read them. Although I would prefer to work with computer science students, I am willing to be used more broadly if that is of use to you. Thank you for your consideration, ---Tait Hoyem
