Pechenino’s father not only steered her toward racing, but also toward Georgia Tech. “My dad raced for GT Motorsports as a student at Tech. I grew up wearing all kinds of Tech gear,” Pechenino said. “I knew I wanted to come here since I was really little.”
Pechenino is now double majoring in mechanical engineering and business at Tech.
She calls racing the “pinnacle of engineering. You’re pushing to extreme limits and seeing how far you are willing to go.”

Because, even on Atlanta roads, if it has to do with cars, it brings her joy — a joy that her father inspired in her from an early age. “I was 2 or 3 years old and watching races with my dad in Kennesaw, Georgia," Pechenino recalled.
