I have been Competing in FIRST competitions for five years now starting in the FIRST Lego League in

middle school then doing the FIRST Robotics Competition through my four years of high school. I am

a hands on person who likes to learn by doing so this program was what i devoted many hours of

my life to for the past five years. I Enjoy building models and how different is a model from a robot,

well I guess a robot is quite larger and tends to weigh more. I am going to college for aerospace

engineering at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University at Daytona Beach Florida.

I have gained both Mechanical and Electrical engineering knowledge from participating in FIRST

Robotics and Leadership Skills as I captained our team for two years. Outer Space fascinates me and

I will some day make it out there as I have been wanting to for a very long time
