I’m a 12th grade student and young entrepreneur with a robust work ethic and a passion for learning. I am one of 6 founding members of Green Mountain Robotics, a FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team based in Burlington, VT. Driven by an interest for engineering and design with real impacts, I plan to attend a technical school to earn a Master’s in mechatronics engineering.
ABOUT
INTERESTS
I have many interests including bouldering, 3D modeling, graphic design, music production, and photography. Essentially, I like all things technology, engineering, or design. Today, I apply my skills in fabrication, CAD, electrical design and leadership as a member of the FIRST Robotics Competition team Green Mountain Robotics #9101, which I cofounded in 2022. Green Mountain Robotics then went on to win one of 8 “Highest Seeded Rookie” awards in the World Championship their rookie year. Now in our third year for the 2024-2025 REEFSCAPE season I currently operate as a member of electrical & mechanical design team, a business & fundraising contributor, and social media manager for our Instagram.
CAREER
At the age of 14 I launched Bike Repair Plus, my first major entrepreneurial venture. A long-time mountain biker, the idea came up in a school project and would soon become a reality as I designed the website, building upon my now mature skills in the Adobe suite along the way. In the two-season lifespan of my one-man operation I processed over 50 service orders before closing shop to pursue my education at the Essex High School STEM Academy. I now work as a salesperson at Best Buy with a certification in computers.
Music has also played a profound part in my life, and at the age of 12 I learned to mix music and DJ. Later that year I performed my first gig at The Skinny Pancake in Burlington, VT and established myself under the name DJ Vox. Today, the skill is mostly just a side-hobby, though I intend to resume mixing professionally as soon as my priorities allow.
