Upcoming generations are growing up in a mixed reality where they develop a powerful command on internet platforms. Tik Tok is a great manifestation of the nuances of existence through short, catchy, layered video content.

What is then the role of education in this cross-existence: how do these interactions shape young folks in their interactions and interrogations of technology?

Angela co-founded Eskwelabs on the belief that education is still the driver for social mobility. She has been learning about how to build social innovations since a summer stint as a substitute teacher at the village school where her grandfather taught. That path took her through finance organizations like the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Grameen, to NGOs like the World Wildlife Fund. Prior to founding Eskwelabs, Angela was a co-founding member of a Toronto-based impact investing firm focused on sustainable food production in emerging markets. She graduated from the University of Toronto with a BComm in Finance and Economics with Distinctions and is a Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst. Angela is Circular Economy Pioneer at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and for her previous work on sustainable oceans, was recognized by the Economist, UNEP, and the World Economic Forum.
