“My journey into the automotive world began in 2020, when I enrolled in an Automotive Service Technician Course and as the only woman in the program, saw firsthand the confidence gap so many women face in the industry,” says, Stephanie Henry, Founder and CEO of She Auto Know. “I created She Auto Know as a vehicle to close that gap but since then, it’s become a movement. Our March 2024 Car Clinic, brought nearly 100 women together, and with the upcoming Winter Clinic, we’re ready to fuel even more transformation.”
