I’ve been involved in competitive robotics for over 12 years as a student, mentor, and program coordinator. I participate in the FIRST Robotics and Vex Robotics programs, and currently mentor two FIRST Robotics teams. I am most recognized for serving as an emcee or game announcer for competition events across California.
