Hi! I am Thea, I'm in my first year of college and I work my hardest to succeed in everything I do even if it takes me a few tries! I used to think I wanted to be an architect, then a dentist, and a few other things in between but I have realized my passion for engineering. As a middle schooler, I became one of the first people on our school's robotics team where I became fascinated with everything about it. Robotics has exposed me to some amazing technologies, career paths, and people who are rooting for me to succeed. I've also played tennis for as long as I can remember and it has truly had its part in shaping me as a person. I have learned grace, patience, and how to use positivity as a strength. I am currently majoring in Mechanical Engineering and minoring in Math and Electrical Engineering. I worked hard my whole high school career to help prepare myself for college by taking dual credit classes, soaking up all the information I can, and working an array of jobs that didn't relate to each other in any way to expand my horizon. In college, I am kept busy as Treasurer in a student organization, coaching amazing middle schoolers in robotics and tennis, and spending lots of time on interesting and challenging classes. After college, I hope to love what I do every single day so it never feels like work.
