Hi, I'm Heba! Growing up in rural communities, I observed how lack of access to appropriate healthcare can have negative outcomes on communities, and also lead to burnout in health care professionals. This experience lead to my path of being an advocate for healthcare accessibility so that more people can get the care they deserve. Currently, I'm achieving this through my digital health start-up, Trigger Tracker, which helps patients monitor their gut health in a convenient way. I decided to pursue entrepreneurship because I thrive with exciting challenges, and I'm eager to see where this path takes me.
