Sometimes the nontraditional path can get you where you need to go in life. That was the case for Shav Hasfal-McIntosh. Early on, Shav challenged family expectations and dropped out of university and college only to go back later in life to complete her HR certificate.

Now, as Shopify’s Diversity & Belonging Team Lead, she’s challenging conventions at work and striving to make colleagues feel included, valued, and heard. Shav’s story shows how she maneuvered through life’s ups and downs and ended up better for it.
