A Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis can be devastating — especially when you’re a young competitive speed skater. Crystal faced her aggressive onset by exploring conventional and unconventional healthcare systems. This journey showed Crystal there’s more innovation to be done in the neurological healthcare space, so she co-founded Branch Out Neurological Foundation and raised over $3M CAD for research. This has given her the insight and expertise necessary to understand VC, contributing to her success at Thin Air Labs as their Health Lead and Head of Experience. Find out what makes Crystal optimistic about Alberta’s contributions in this field.
