“I moved to Canada in 2012 with my husband. One morning at the peak of the pandemic, I learnt that I have cancer. The world turned upside down for me and my family, including my 8-year-old daughter. It is during my cancer treatment in the pandemic, I realized the importance of family which made me decide that I will help families,” she states.
In the middle of her treatment, she not only completed her Nursing program as a Honor Roll, but also worked from the hospital bed to lay the foundation of a company Universal Health Hub (UHH), which is today valued at $5M.
