After her own experience becoming my father's sole caregiver at a young age, she noticed a severe lack of support and advocacy for family caregivers. she founded I Ally, a web and mobile app designed to be the caregiver's companion and one-stop-shop. I Ally offers users peer support and mutual aid, arms them with digital tools, and matches them with experts in mental health, financial literacy, legal counsel, and available clinical trials.
