This week I’m thrilled to be joined by a woman who I have been fortunate enough to get to know and work with over the last few years and i have the privilege of calling her a friend. Diana Castrejon is not just your ordinary automotive technician; she's a force to be reckoned with, having been instrumental in not just one but two all-female builds. Her journey is not only marked by technical prowess but also by her unyielding persistence, quick wit, and infectious joy.
Hope you’ll join us on YouTube and FaceBook tonight for an episode of With Her Two Hands you don’t want to miss!
