Hannah Marsh, 23 - Motorsport Race Technician

Hannah studied at University for a degree in Fine Arts before making the decision to realign her career and pursue her dream job in the motorsport industry as a motorsport race technician. Hannah is currently working toward the City & Guilds Performing Engineering Operations and BTEC First Diploma in Vehicle Technology (Motorsport) qualifications with The National College for Motorsport , Silverstone and Fortec Motorsport in Daventry, where she learns the practical elements of the job. 

"Initially I found it hard to be taken seriously because of my gender and my educational background. I felt I had to prove to people my true, intended dedication to the subject and my full conviction towards achieving success in this career. The support I have received has been integral to boosting confidence in my own abilities and provided me with a strong base knowledge which has helped reaffirm my decision to pursue a career in the motorsport industry."

"My goal is to learn as much as I can about the mechanics of the cars with which I work, enabling me to become a competent mechanic. I want to nurture my confidence in order to work on, and run, my own car in forthcoming championships within my Formula. I intend to be open minded, but focused on the job in order to learn as much as I possibly can about mechanics and engineering. I want to carve out a successful career for myself in this industry and work hard as a race mechanic."
