My passion for motor racing came from my family. Two of my uncles were professional racing drivers, and together with my dad, they got me involved in the sport!
I first took part in FIA Girls on Track in 2019 at the Mexico City E-Prix, and then joined the programme as a volunteer in 2022.
I was thinking about my best memory from FIA Girls on Track, but there are so many to choose from! I'd say meeting so many girls who I've become friends with - and we all share the same passion for motorsport!
There's also the chance of getting a face-to-face look into the motorsport industry and seeing all the opportunities.
Since taking part in FIA Girls on Track, I've worked as a trainee at the Formula E race in Mexico City, continued working on my Instagram blog, and last year, I got media accreditation for the 2023 Mexico City E-Prix.
I'd planned to study Sports Business Administration but decided to switch to Communications and Event Planning as this was more aligned with what I wanted to do. I've also joined my Students Association, where I co-ordinate social media and general information.
My graduation is in a year and a half, and after that, I'd love to continue working within motorsport, with the comms, PR and event experience.
If I were to give any advice to girls considering the program, it's just: 'Do it!' Do not hesitate, as you are joining a family who will cheer you on every time you achieve something! You will also experience the best day of your year and have so much fun making life-long memories.
