Nurse driven by passion

Racing chic: Huang who leads RedBull Rookies’ female drivers team always wanted to do something outside of her comfort zone.

THE phrase ‘looks can be deceiving’ is the perfect way to describe Melissa Huang. The petite beauty is not only a qualified nurse but also a racecar enthusiast.

Huang started her career in nursing as she always wanted to help others. “At first, I wanted to be a marine biologist because I wanted to work with whales. I wanted to do marine wildlife conservation but that career path would require me to travel far away from my family,” she said.
