What was one of your favourite work projects?
My own startup PALcares has been hands down my favorite undertaking I’ve made so far. PALcares is an online interface that connects communities to social supports to bridge the gap between the availability of services and accessibility of services. PALcares serves two primary purposes: Connecting community members to relevant social supports and collecting and mobilizing data in the public and non-profit sectors.

Most of my free time is spent working on PALcares or with my family. I do enjoy the occasional trip to mountains for a hike as well.
