Personal motto:
Why be ordinary, when you can stand out? (in a good way of course)
Having a thing for video games, she is not your typical girly-girl (rumor has it that she holds the record for the fastest Nurburgring lap time in Grand Turismo).
When the team got to know her, they discovered she was not the biggest fan of driving large SUVs and pickup trucks but a Volkswagen Beetle won her over to the dark side of car lovers.
So, once the Beetle took over her heart she had to try her luck at the rest of the cars as well. The interesting thing was that she found them quite appealing, especially the design point of view, and she pays a lot of attention to the way companies draw out their cars.
