<div><p><strong>Kay Roth</strong> works at <em>Anduril</em> in Lexington as an R&D technician, specializing in soldering and custom cable harness design and builds for prototype cameras. She has also started designing small PCBs. Mentor Chris Morse recruited her after they both worked at a drone company. Ms Roth previously worked on Stretch at <em>Boston Dynamics</em> and a medical robot at <em>Vicarious Surgical</em>. She enjoys R&D because she gets to help engineers work through prototypes and iterations until there is a final product to toss over the fence to manufacturing/production -- then she gets to start on something new again!</p>

FIRST helped her a lot in high school with social anxiety and she formed some of her best friendships to this day from being on <strong>team 11</strong>. Outside of work, she is a Stephen King junkie and an animal lover, spending most of her free time tending to a personal zoo. She has a dog, two cats, a hamster, a chameleon, 11 frogs, three jumping spiders, a day gecko, a spiny flower mantis (see image), five blue death feigning beetles, and lots of terrariums filled with isopods (fancy roly-polies) and garden snails.</p></div>
