Meet Amna Qamar, a female student from Huddersfield, studying mathematics and actuarial science at uni. Not the background of your typical racing car driver!
We first met Amna as a candidate on our
Summer Analyst Training Programme. Like many students, Amna doesn't attend a target university and has no real experience in finance, and so sort other means to gain skills and bulk up her credentials.
Here's what Amna had to say about her time on the programme.
"Amplify has completely changed my outlook on my degree, future career path and overall goals. Watching and learning from the amazing mentors on the summer analyst programme gave me the confidence to pursue my goals without hesitation".It is at this point we reconnect with Amna.
Her new goal? Winning the
Formula Woman competition and then competing in the British Indoor Karting Championship, working on securing a seat in the Karting Rotax Championship and hoping to race in the British Touring Car Championship.
Here's an interview with Amna on the
BBC that aired in February.
