"Motorsport is the ultimate team sport. If sharing my journey helps make this industry feel more accessible to young engineers from underrepresented backgrounds, then I’m proud to use my platform for that purpose."
As we approach International Women in Engineering Day on 23 June, current Motorsport student and FIA Scholar, Sanya Jain, shares her experience of navigating the motorsport industry as a woman and international student, and why representation matters.
"As an Indian woman in motorsport, representation carries real weight for me. When I was younger, I didn’t see many women, let alone women of South Asian origin, in high-performance engineering roles.
"Cranfield has reinforced the importance of asking questions, staying humble, and always striving to learn. Those values will stay with me throughout my career."
