The Impact FIRST has had: “FIRST has helped me determine that engineering is the path I want to pursue in the future, and building a real-world-scale robot each of the last 4 years was an exciting process every time. On Team 4909, the students primarily design and build the robot, which is definitely great real-world preparation. I was able to have a leadership position and communicate with the other team members to get opinions and their point of view on what they think is best for the robot, and I've really enjoyed the creative engineering process that I have been involved in while being a member of this team." 

Favorite 4909 memory: “Being at competitions; I loved the hectic pace of the competitions, the environment, and the fun memories that come with it.”

Plans After High School: “I plan to attend college and pursue a major in engineering; likely electrical or biomedical engineering. I also want to be a part of/run a STEM outreach program.”
