3D Printing: 3D printing has been a significant part of my life since I first delved into the hobby during my junior year of high school when I joined my high school's robotics team. It has since become an integral component of my daily routine. I've applied my 3D printing skills to various aspects of my life, from crafting essential components for my home to contributing to my robotics club's projects. I've even utilized 3D printing to enhance my dorm room experience here at Cal Poly, showcasing my passion for creating tangible solutions through technology. I'm also experienced with multiple different printers and slicing software programs like Cura and IdeaMaker.

Walking and Hiking: When I'm not immersed in indoor activities like CAD or homework, I cherish the opportunity to step outside and connect with nature. The hiking trails around Cal Poly are amazing.

Learning: I place great emphasis on continuous personal growth, and learning is at the core. Whether it's acquiring new technical skills, learning new machinery, or honing softer skills like time management and social interaction, I embrace the process of learning with enthusiasm.
