How did you develop a passion for cars and\/or motorsports?<\/strong><br \/>\nCars have been a major part of my life, but it wasn\u2019t until 2019 that I fully engaged with them through my photography, creating &#8220;sheshootscars.&#8221; In my Middle Eastern upbringing, cars were seen as a &#8220;boy&#8217;s thing.&#8221; However, I discovered the strong presence of women in the automotive community and made it my goal to be deeply involved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2. What advice do you have for people who want to break into the motorsports and auto industry?<\/strong><br \/>\nBe present, go to events, shake hands, introduce yourself, and don&#8217;t be afraid to ask questions.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>3. If you could drive any car, what would it be and why?<\/strong><br \/>\nA Porsche 944 Turbo is one of the cars on my bucket list to own. Whenever one says the word, \u201cporsche\u201d, a 911 is the first chassis to come to mind. I\u2019ve always wanted a 944 because I have a strong appreciation for oddball cars.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>4. If you could attend any car\/motorsports event in the world, which would you choose? Why?<\/strong><br \/>\nI would love nothing more than to attend Goodwood because of the array of cars present. It would feel like I&#8217;ve stepped out of a time machine and into a whole different era of racing. There&#8217;s a bit of everything for all types of car enthusiasts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>5. What&#8217;s the most exciting car event\/race you&#8217;ve ever attended?<\/strong><br \/>\nThere&#8217;s nothing more exciting and fulfilling for me than attending track days where my friends are racing. I&#8217;m known as the photographer in my group, so nothing brings me more joy than being the one who takes track day photos for my friends. It&#8217;s about making and preserving memories. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>A glance at her photography in the media:<br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/marqued.com\/editorial\/3P1D3nTuRv4lhlaSnVsV4M\/Vlogger-and-aspiring-racer-Yunni-Zhai-wants-young-enthusiasts-to-start-wrenching \">Vlogger and aspiring racer Yunni Zhai wants young enthusiasts to start wrenching<\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/marqued.com\/editorial\/6cTzT9qKbabVhl9x7PocbJ\/she-stepped-into-a-stepnose-alfa-romeo-and-hasnt-looked-back \">She stepped into a &#8216;step nose&#8217;
