My earliest career in robotics, engineering, and STEM started when I was eight years old,through the First Lego League program. I continued to First Robotics at ten years old (where Ilearned my first programming language - Java), and have spent until now in First TechChallenge. Robotics and programming are a part of my everyday life, from owning andoperating a 3D printing business, to academic pursuits and beyond. I take great pride in mywork and always strive to go above and beyond to ensure that the job is done right the first time,with efficiency and effectiveness. Programming - both application and design - is truly mypassion.
