My grandmother was diagnosed with Multiple System Atrophy, a rare and degenerative neurological disorder often mistaken for Parkinson’s. That experience was my first real exposure to medicine and ultimately led me to work on prosthetic technologies aimed at restoring mobility. In 2020, I watched as NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley launched aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Demo-2—the first crewed U.S. spaceflight in nearly a decade. It reignited a deep fascination with space, exploration, and engineering. A few years later, I came across Figure AI, founded in 2022 with the goal of building general-purpose humanoid robots, and Anduril Industries, a rapidly growing defense tech startup merging AI with advanced hardware. These developments reminded me of my early passion for robotics and how far the field had come. More recently, I found myself walking the streets of Shibuya City, collecting litter and reflecting on how innovation can—and should—support a more sustainable planet. I’ve always been drawn to many different fields: medicine, robotics, space, sustainability. But rather than scatter me, these experiences have revealed how deeply connected everything is. I explore new ideas, learn quickly, and grow from each step. I’m incredibly grateful for the people and moments that have shaped my journey—and I’m excited for what comes next.
