Julie Goldberg – Artist Feature Story

The WVU junior is deaf and has low vision, but works as a freelance photographer for local bands in Morgantown with the dream of helping others with disabilities.

She hopes to someday help teach others how to communicate better with people who are living with disabilities. She would also like to help people with disabilities that have been abused.

"I want everyone to know that people with disabilities can do whatever they love and want to do, even if it is a challenge," she says.

Julie had viral encephalitis at 19 months old. She recently got cochlear implants, which has really helped.

Goldberg is a native of Pittsburgh and a Women's Studies major. To see Julie's work go to: http://s26.photobucket.com/home/xjewjewx
