Growing up I always wanted to be an inventor. Working with cool machines and building amazing devices was and still is a driving factor in my life. When I got older I tried my best at building and fixing things to the best of my ability from taking an auto shop and CAD class in high school to building my own and a couple other personal computers. Once I was in college I set my sights on a being a Mechanical Engineer. After a semester I realized that’s not what my goals were aligned with I want more hands on, that’s when I discovered mechatronics. I have loved it from that point on from working with FANUC arm robots to designing PLC programs in class it has been amazing. To the future I want to continue this dream of mine with servicing and repairing a variety of systems and possibly moving on to and engineering degree to further my experience.
