Personal Statement:

"Robotics has been an interest of mine since a young age. I have been involved with them since early in my high school education. Starting out with a focus in physics I have a unique perception of the mechanics and electronics behind the machines and its controls. I hope to pursue a career in space robotics with a focus in human-robotic interaction."
