She has a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from McGill University, a Master’s degree in Science Communication from Imperial College London, and a Graduate diploma in Philanthropy and Non-profit Leadership from Carleton University.

Nevertheless, her goal is to create a fresh, easy-to-use tool that will provide people with physical disabilities (like her younger brother) with a backup plan for quickly accessing qualified attendants, so everyone can get the help they need wherever and whenever they want.
