I've lived in Arizona as long as I can remember. My oldest memories were of the desert at night. I liked to play in the desert by the light of the moon and the stars. I also played with my siblings. We would catch lizards and play with tarantulas. I remember that my kindergarden teacher had aquariums with tarantulas in them.
I took all this interest in the world and channeled it into trying to figure out how things work. I decided I wanted to work with robotics.
