Ayesha began her career as a Chemical Engineer graduating from the University of Calgary. She worked in the oil and gas industry both locally and internationally prior to making a career change.  After 5 years as an engineer, she made the switch to medicine, graduating with a Doctor of Medicine from the University of Alberta.  As a physician she has had the opportunity to help in resource limited countries during times of crisis.  Currently working as an Emergency Physician in Calgary she bears witness to the medical and socio-economic struggles that affect our city most vulnerable.  This drove her to join the board at the DI.

Genuinely curious, she loves to hear peoples’ stories and explore the world around her.
