Australian government statistics show that only 22% of females share the driving instructor workforce across Australia. Melbourne's Sakuntala Rijal Sapkota is one of them. She is a full-time driving instructor, a profession she had not anticipated being part of. Sapkota spoke to SBS Nepali about her instructor journey and encourages everyone to do what interests them.
