“Growing up in a sports-orientated family led to my love for Formula One – which inspired my dream of becoming a race engineer. But it was the opportunities at school that truly made me believe I could become one. Instead of feeling intimidated about entering a male-dominated industry, St George’s has given me the confidence to push myself forward. So I’m now looking forward to studying motorsport engineering at Oxford Brookes University! And I’m equally proud that my role as an engineering prefect has helped establish the school’s first F1 in schools club – after hearing some younger girls express interest in motorsport. Next year, two St George’s teams will compete in designing a miniature F1 car at the regional finals. Away from motorsport, one of my main memories is Glee, our annual Christmas singing and dancing show... It perfectly summarises St George’s morals – the teamwork and house spirit among different year groups, the hard work put into everything, but, most importantly, the enthusiasm and determination to keep on going.”
