Having started her first company at 18 alongside her single mother, she’s worked at some of the most prestigious law firms in Toronto, making countless sacrifices in her personal life to move at the pace she wanted. But when several close family members suddenly faced severe health issues during the pandemic, Sabrina’s world turned upside down. Fueled by an eagerness to fix an imperfect health care system, she started Fero, a revolutionary new venture that builds modular units to aid in disaster relief and rapid response. \n\nKatherin and Sabrina talk about the incredibly dark time for her family during the pandemic, how she’s drawn from those experiences throughout Fero’s development, and what her mother and grandfather taught her about the value of hard work. They also discuss growing up in multi-generational households, and the ways in which their families’ clashing perspectives shaped them as entrepreneurs. "}
