Hi! I'm Rishabh, and I'm a senior at Burlington High School!
The main reason I joined the Help Desk is because I have a strong interest in computer science and technology, and the Help Desk will provide me with exposure to different technological concepts and gadgets, such as drones, Arduinos, Raspberry Pi computers, robots, and many other things that interest me. I am relatively proficient in computer programming, but in our tech-fueled world, there are many other aspects of technology that I am not familiar with, and Help Desk will give me the opportunity to explore other fields of technology that I am not yet proficient in. The Help Desk will also give me the opportunity to pursue some independent projects, to hopefully design and build tech with a practical use in the real world. Additionally, I would like to use my knowledge in the technology field to help my peers with technological issues – which are inevitable at such a technology driven school – and Help Desk will give me the opportunity to do so. Outside of school, I run track and field and cross country at Burlington High School, and have been doing so since my freshman year. I am also a part of student council, the Red Devil Athletic Leadership Team and Mentor Leadership Team, and volunteer at Lahey Clinic during the summer. My career goals are to study computer science and business/economics in college, hopefully giving me the skills to pursue a career in the startup industry. I would also like to pursue my passion for running track and cross country at the collegiate level. I am looking forward to a fun year in Help Desk!
