When did you first decide you wanted to pursue a career in automotive engineering?

I decided to pursue automotive engineering during my placement year at university. I studied design with engineering materials at Loughborough University in the UK. While I was always interested in engineering due in part to my love for maths, science and problem-solving, my passion for the automotive industry was ignited during my placement at YASA in 2015. Before YASA, however, from a younger age my father, who was always tinkering with classic cars and motorcycles, initially sparked my interest in cars. The placement with YASA then solidified my decision to stay in the automotive field, and I have been with YASA ever since.
