Involvement

Teams, clubs, and the people who make them work

Most of what I actually know how to build, I learned leading robotics teams through a build season, not in a lecture hall.

  • Robodawgs — FRC Team 216

    Team Lead

    Sept 2021 – May 2025

    What it is

    A FIRST Robotics Competition team designing and building competitive robots for regional and championship events.

    What I do there

    Mentored underclassmen in CAD design, control systems, and iterative design. Led 12+ students and oversaw a 3-month build season, coordinating mechanical, electrical, and programming sub-teams.

  • VEX Team 248D

    Team Lead

    Sept 2021 – May 2025

    What it is

    A VEX Robotics Competition team designing and programming small-scale autonomous robots.

    What I do there

    Guided teammates in C++ and Python for autonomous control and strategy, designed and simulated robots in OnShape before build, and worked to keep the team collaborative and open to new members.

  • Biomedical Engineering Society

    Member

    Sept 2025 – present

    What it is

    University of Michigan student chapter connecting biomedical engineering students with research and industry.

    What I do there

    Participating member.

  • MedLaunch

    Project Manager

    Sept 2025 – present

    What it is

    A student product-development team building medical devices from concept through prototype.

    What I do there

    Started on the product-development side, researching biocompatible 3D printing materials and helping prototype an adaptive mouth stick device for quadriplegic users. Now manage the team as Project Manager.

  • Algebra II Tutoring

    Tutor

    High school – present

    What it is

    Informal Algebra II tutoring — no program behind it, just people who needed help.

    What I do there

    Started tutoring classmates in high school and kept it up afterward with the same people, as they've needed it.
