Kavita Muthusamy, 24, a mechanical engineer, was thrilled to be one of the winners for the #AIASquashTheStereotypes Squash Clinic held at the National Squash Centre in Bukit Jalil.

Not only did she have the chance to play squash with Malaysian squash legend Nicol David, but she was also able to "help squash gender stereotypes in her industry", she says.
