69. Female Auto Tech Turns Race Enthusiast

Ana Broyles’ journey into the automotive world began in a high school shop class. Her interest was further sparked during summers working at a KTM motorcycle and sportscar shop. The techs there encouraged her curiosity, allowing her to observe and eventually get hands-on experience, setting the foundation for her future career. She was recruited by UTI where she thrived and which eventually landed her a job at BMW. Ana is now a Master Tech for BMW as well as a High Voltage Specialist. She decided to take on a 2002tii car restoration project, which turned out to be more challenging than she had anticipated. Progress was slow as she worked on it sporadically over several years. In search of a new challenge and to distract herself from the painstaking restoration project and the death of her father, Ana ventured into the world of racing. Although she found it thrilling, a serious accident that totaled her racing car made her reconsider the dangers and costs associated with the sport. Still craving the thrill of the sport, Ana transitioned to road and mountain bike racing.

Tune in as Ana shares how her father’s hobby inspired her automotive journey, how shop life surprised her and what it was like coming up as a female in the industry.
