I was honored to speak at Innovation Academy’s Raspberry Pi Hackathon day. Here are a few highlights from my presentation.

In this video, I discuss:
– Why Raspberry Pi? – Cool Projects

– Things I was told about myself in high school
– I was told that “I couldn’t dance.” – I auditioned and danced in the SuperBowl XXXIV Pregame show
– I was told that “I wasn’t athletic.” – I won a gold medal for Team USA – 8K Cross Country 2019
– My first Raspberry Pi Project (Making an Alexa from a Raspberry Pi) took 5 days with help from others

– Lessons Learned:
– Don’t let others define you
– Finish what you start
– Be Unapologetically Yourself
