ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) - Noelle Williamson programs computers and spends some of her free time bungee jumping or skydiving from airplanes.

She doesn't let the fact that she's blind slow her down.

"It's something I've dealt with my whole life," the 25-year-old Roseburg woman says. "I'm used to it."

For about six hours each week, Williamson trains in computer programming and building Web sites.

Williamson doesn't need to see a computer screen to know how to do technical tasks. She has every button on the keyboard memorized, which allows her to work freely on any computer. A software program reads aloud to her.

"It goes just right over my head," said Keri Schumaker, an independent contractor who works with the Oregon Commission for the Blind and also as Williamson's consultant at Inerseshen Creative Media.

It was Schumaker who approached Inerseshen about a training opportunity for Williamson. In the past she has helped facilitate jobs for other blind workers at a computer recycling facility and at McDonald's and is confident Williamson could work as a receptionist at almost any office.

But Williamson isn't about to let her disability keep her from doing what she really wants to do.

"It was very surprising," Inerseshen co-owner Matthew Cherry said about being approached by Schumaker with her proposition.

When she arrived at Inerseshen, which creates Web sites and business cards and advertising banners for businesses, she surprised Cherry and co-owners Shaun Konopaski and Shaun Ryan with tales about her skydiving and bungee jumping.

"I think flying is a lot of fun," Williamson said.

She often attempts thrilling experiences on her birthday. On her most recent one, she bungee jumped from a bridge over a Washington canyon with Schumaker and family members in attendance.

"You can't think about it or you'll get nervous," she said.
