1. If you are going into engineering or science, did FIRST help you decide, or did you already decide to before starting FIRST.

I knew I was going to get into engineering of some sort. FIRST was my first real exposure to it, though.

2. Are you more interested in the technology, or are you most interested in the application?

Application, definitely. The technology is awesome, no doubt, but the potential that some of this technology can have is mind-blowing, and I want to be there to see it work.

3. To what degree are you interested in “making a difference” with an engineering career?

It's always been a dream of mine to change how people see something that they've always taken for granted. Maybe virtual reality and AI, make people think about the definition of reality and life. People always take it for granted, but if certain developments occur, people will seriously have to reconsider how they see things.

4. Prior to starting FIRST did you view engineering as something for “someone like me” ?

I always figured I'd be getting into engineering in some form.
