As a young woman I've always been fascinated by robots. The very first moment I witnessed a robot on television, I immediately knew that would be my passion and carrer path. The technological world at that very moment became a magical world filled with endless possibilities and challenges. My imagination is a world without limits, a boundless expanse of creativity that knows no bounds. This is one of the reasons I have chosen to pursue this path, not only have I chosen it, but have been chosen by it. The robotics field will allow me to express my creativity as well as my analytical and critical thinking skills. The women who inspired me to follow this path is the one and only "Dr. Maja Mataric"
Who is Dr. Mataric?

of individuals with different forms of incapacities. Her name and work has earned around the world acknowledgement and has earned many accolades for her amazing work over the years.
Dr. Mataric is not only an inspiration to me but for many women looking to go into the robotics field. What makes Dr. Mataric inspiring to many women in robotics is not only her groundbreaing achievements but her perseverance to make a postive change in the world, and this is one of many reasons for her being an inspiration to me. Her story and journey inspires me to use the skills i aquire to make a positive impact in the technological industry.
I am driven by the relentless pursuit of innovation, and aspire to make a lasting impact in the technological landscape by pioneering groundbreaking solutions that enhance people's lives and push the limits of what is possible. I aim to showcase that one's work can make a positive impact on the world through hardwork, dedication and perseverance. While robots are touted as the future of technology and have great potential to transform our lives, let's not forget that they are still a work in progress. Robots may take our jobs, but at least they can't take our sense of humor... yet. Until at that point, I'll keep imagining of the day when I can at last holler "Rosie,
bring me a lager!" and have my claim individual robot butler cater to my every whim.
