Hobby
My fascination with robotics began in middle school when I participated in the Girls of Steel Robotics program at Carnegie Mellon University involving basic robot design. What started as a simple assignment quickly evolved into a deep-seated interest in understanding how robots work and how they can be programmed to perform various tasks. The intricate dance of gears, circuits, and code captivated me, and I found myself drawn to the challenge of creating machines that could interact with the world in meaningful ways.
I am actively participating in the 2024-2025 FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) competition, where I am contributing to our team’s design and engineering efforts. My focus is on developing innovative solutions for our robot, including the mechanical design and integration of electrical components. Collaborating closely with my teammates, I am gaining valuable experience in problem-solving and teamwork as we work towards creating a competitive and efficient robot to excel in the upcoming challenges. This experience not only enhances my technical skills but also deepens my passion for robotics and engineering.
