MY GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: My greatest accomplishment as a student was helping the Drexel team in the DARPA Robotics Challenge compete against other world contenders. It was a competition to have team members control a search-and-rescue robot in a mock nuclear power plant disaster scenario modeled after the Fukushima power plant disaster. Currently, I work at an agricultural tech startup called Bloom Automation that is bringing robotics and advanced automation to the medical cannabis industry. Our mission is to trim plantings with the precision of a human, but the efficiency of a machine.

HOW DREXEL HELPED: Drexel taught me perseverance, courage and, at the same time, humility by giving me the opportunity to reach higher. I was able to meet great professors and become friends with like-minded individuals who gave me the courage to keep going after my dream.

WHERE I’ll BE IN FIVE YEARS: I imagine myself to be an executive or director of engineering helping to lead a company from idea to product creation.
