Meet Kathy. As the Lead Coder and Drive Coach for [cy]BEARCATS FRC#11214. Kathy is the one translating complex logic into winning moves. She doesn’t just write the script for our robot; she writes the strategy for our success.
Kathy says, "FIRST has shown me that no matter where I come from, I can be a part of something big. It has shaped my outlook on my future and taught me that the possibilities are truly endless. It has shaped my outlook on my future and taught me no matter where I come from I can be a part of something big!"
For Kathy, FIRST was the realization that your starting point doesn’t define your finish line. She has turned "I wonder if I can" into "I know I will." By leading our drive team with both data-driven precision and a whole lot of heart, she proves every day that anyone—from any background—can be the mastermind behind something monumental.
Whether she’s debugging code or coaching a high-stakes match, Kathy is showing the world that her future has no ceiling.
