VEX Robotics

In high school I competed in the VEX Robotics Competition on team 99621A Lemon Pi, an all-girls team, with my twin sister and three of our friends. My roles on the team consisted of designing, building, programming, and keeping an engineering notebook. During my last season I won three awards (including one at the state championship!) and co-authored a 2,200+ page engineering notebook. Although I no longer compete in the VEX Robotics Competition I regularly volunteer as a referee at local competitions and help out at an annual robotics summer camp to share my love for robotics with my community.

TrickFire Robotics

After enjoying robotics classes and competitions in high school, I was eager to find an outlet for robotics in college and excitedly joined TrickFire Robotics, the University of Washington Bothell's University Rover Challenge team! The University Rover Challenge asks teams to design and build a rover capable of early Mars exploration. I am a member of TrickFire's software and marketing subteams. I enjoy coding, making posters, doing outreach events at middle and high schools with the team, and helping out wherever else I can! TrickFire has taught me countless new technical skills and left with me lifelong friends and memories.
