What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to apply my skills in robotics and programming while fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.

I am a creative and analytical thinker with a passion for robotics and problem-solving. As the robotics captain for the past three years, I have honed my skills in designing, testing, and building robots to tackle complex challenges. My role involves organizing tasks, leading meetings, and fostering a cooperative environment among team members. I thrive on the excitement of building a robot within a tight timeframe, ensuring that we are well-prepared for competition.

In addition to my robotics experience, I have been involved in band for nine years, where I learned the importance of collaboration and attention to detail in music. My commitment to teamwork extends beyond robotics and music; I am also pursuing an internship at OSU's KIND Lab, where I am gaining hands-on experience in research and programming. I am eager to continue developing my skills and knowledge in a summer experience that aligns with my academic interests.
