    • About Me:

      Hi, I’m Sanjina! I’m a design engineer living in the south coast. I love trying out different types of food, going for long runs and gaming in my free time.

      I grew up in Hong Kong and my family is from Nepal. I moved to the UK about 8 years ago and got my degree in Aeronautical engineering about 3 years ago.
      So far I’ve live in 3 different countries so far and can understand 4 languages! Growing up moving around has taught me to appreciate different cultures and has helped me become a curious person.
      I love constantly trying out new things, so I’ve got a long list of hobbies, but here are some of my current ones: running, crocheting, bouldering, cooking, gaming.

    • My pronouns are:

      She/Her

    • My Work:

      I’m a design engineer who mainly works with carbon fibre (that’s what f1 cars are made of!).

      I help design parts for many different projects, but a lot of them are for F1 teams. I mostly work on creating parts in my computer using a computer aided modelling software.

    • My Typical Day:

      I wake up, get ready and get to work at around 8. I then make myself a cup of tea (best way to start the day, especially when it’s cold outside) and get to work. I usually have lunch at 1pm then get back to business. I leave work at around 5.

      During my work hours, I am usually sat on my desk trying to bring ideas to life with the help of my modelling software. I love how every task feels like a puzzle then when I finish it, I feel motivated for my next task.

    • What I'd do with the prize money:

      I would love to donate some of the money to organizations that help diversify the STEM field, such as First. I would also like to use some of the money to create educational STEM videos.
