Bio

My life goal is to create technologies that make a meaningful difference in people’s lives—especially at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and human-centered design. I’m passionate about solving real-world problems through innovation, whether that’s building assistive robots for healthcare or designing educational tools that reach underserved communities. This passion stems from a deep curiosity about how things work and an even deeper desire to help people. Over the years, I’ve led robotics teams, conducted bioengineering research, and collaborated with international peers to build solutions from the ground up. These experiences have shown me how powerful technology can be when it's built with empathy and purpose. I believe I’m a great candidate because I don’t just bring technical skills—I bring leadership, global perspective, and a commitment to using my knowledge responsibly. I thrive in interdisciplinary environments, I love collaborating with others, and I’m always hungry to learn and grow. Wherever I go, I aim to be both a builder and a bridge: someone who connects ideas, people, and technologies to build a better future.

    Tom LoCasale Developing Character Through Golf Scholarship
    The first time I held a golf club, I was standing awkwardly on a First Tee practice mat, trying to remember whether to keep my knees bent or my head down. At that age, I didn’t fully grasp the purpose behind First Tee’s Nine Core Values. But as the years passed, those values didn’t just live in my handbook—they became the framework through which I grew. By the time I reached high school, I joined the golf team with excitement—but also nerves. I barely made the roster my freshman year. Surrounded by more experienced players, I often felt like I didn’t belong. But I remembered what I’d learned through First Tee: you don’t have to be the best to get better. I committed to improving, arriving early for practice, studying my swing mechanics, and focusing on controlling what I could. It wasn’t glamorous—but it was growth. In my sophomore year, I took the initiative to mentor six new players. That season, our team went undefeated and won the SCVAL league championship. I wasn’t the top scorer, but I felt connected to something larger than myself. During my junior and senior years, we finished as league runner-up. As team captain, I led match strategies, organized off-season practices and bonding events, and worked to build a culture of sportsmanship and support. One of my most meaningful challenges came when our star player was sidelined by a season-ending injury. With morale shaken, I focused on uplifting the team—making time for one-on-one check-ins, boosting energy during matches, and ensuring every teammate felt valued. Building that sense of connection and resilience meant more to me than any medal ever could. Senior year brought a personal milestone: I qualified for the league finals as an individual. Standing over my final putt of the season—my final high school hole ever—I had a long birdie opportunity. I could feel the weight of four years building up in that quiet moment. I drew a deep breath, trusted the practice, and sank the putt. It felt poetic: I was ending not just a round, but a chapter of my life, on a strong and positive note. But the most valuable lessons golf has taught me reach far beyond the course. Perseverance helped me navigate a challenging summer research internship—when my chemical experiments repeatedly failed, I didn’t give up. Instead, I pivoted to a thermo-electric approach that ultimately showed promise. Integrity grounded me as I led my robotics team; whether we were winning or falling short, I made it a point to recognize every contribution and treat our competitors with respect. Responsibility guided me while raising funds and mentoring younger students in STEM outreach, ensuring I followed through on every promise and showed up consistently for those who looked up to me. Golf taught me how to stay composed when things go wrong, how to lead when no one’s watching, and how to keep growing even when progress is invisible. As I look ahead to college and my career in human-centered technology, I know I’ll continue to use the same skills I refined over years of fairways and frustrations: patience in the face of complexity, composure under pressure, and a commitment to helping those around me succeed. Whether I’m building teams, designing solutions, or leading initiatives, I’ll keep living the values that golf—and First Tee—taught me. Because ultimately, the biggest life lesson I’ve learned through golf is this: progress isn’t always visible from the outside, but every small step—every thoughtful decision, every act of character—adds up. And that’s how I plan to build my future: one intentional step at a time.
