Congratulations Amanda!

This is really a fantastic article and to me it really showcases a lot of what FIRST is truly about! FIRST's programs have really grown beyond just inspiring kids about science and technology, to programs that prepare kids for the real world and help them find their niche and passion along the way. We have so many alumni who are doing fantastic things in fields that have nothing to do with STEM, but yet the core of their success is rooted in their time with the programs.

This makes me really happy to see FIRST showcasing these aspects of the program. As an alumni who found my future career in Marketing and Public Relations through FRC, I've always felt it's important that it's shown how many different careers and fields can be launched into through FIRST.
