Story
Raised on a farm, I grew up with the knowledge of agricultural practices, as well as the workings of farm equipment and labour. As a child, I had a natural talent for music and one of my greatest hobbies to this day is playing piano. I mainly played with LEGO and K’NEX which gave me interests in mechanical design; and one of my greatest interests of all was the exploration of space. Knowing what is in the unknown seemed exiting to me.
Throughout elementary, I was deeply interested in mathematics and science. Everything around me could be explained using these subjects and I wanted to delve further. As a result, I strived in these subjects and knew I wanted to be an engineer as soon as I got to high school. With this in mind, I took as many science and mathematics courses I could while still taking music all 4 years of my high school terms.
I was accepted to Laurentian University for Mechatronics Engineering since I wished to learn about the field of robotics since the world is moving more and more towards automation. I graduated in the summer of 2021 and begun working for DIY Robotics as their technical writer. I write about robotics and their applications in the manufacturing industry.
