For most of my life, I’ve had a passion for the STEM lifestyle. I started this lifestyle by joining my local FIRST robotics team. I entered as a passionate freshman, doing mostly grunt work but still learning important skills. By senior year I was the president and team lead of our robotics team, using the skills I learned to design and build a robot that placed among the top teams in our local tournament. Simultaneously, I was able to coordinate with 20 different middle schools to organize our local lego robotics tournament to give back to our community.In college, I am learning important skills at the University of California San Diego in order to continue to excel as an electrical engineer. To hone my skills further, I joined IEEE Micromouse, an annual project where groups of students design and build a working autonomous maze-following robot. Through hard work, I was able to stand among the top 20% of my graduating academic class, earning myself a seat in Eta Kappa Nu, the official IEEE honors society.In the future, I hope to apply everything I’ve learned in a professional business environment. Whether it be in the public or private sector, designing new products or innovating with current ones, I want to be able to use the knowledge and skills I’ve attained in real world settings that will truly make an impact.
