Sheema Khan on Writing Your Own Story at TEDxKanata 2016

In 2016, Sheema Khan was a speaker at TEDxKanata in Ottawa, Ontario.

According to TEDxKanata, "As a toddler, Sheema Khan emigrated from India to Montreal, where she immersed herself in Quebecois culture and quickly became fluent in French. Currently a patent agent in Ottawa, she is also a published author, soccer player and hockey mom. The path to patent agent has been an interesting one: She holds a Masters in Physics and a PhD in Chemical Physics, both from Harvard University. After completing post-doctoral research at MIT and McGill, Sheema worked as an R&D scientist in pharmaceutical sciences and is an inventor with numerous patents in drug delivery technology. In addition, since 2002, she has been a monthly columnist for Canada’s national newspaper, The Globe and Mail. A collection of her columns have been published in the book 'Of Hockey and Hijab: Reflections of a Canadian Muslim Woman'. In 2012, she was a recipient of a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for service to Canada."
