Having founded Open Door Educational Services in 2013, Heather Desjardins felt as if she was just getting started in a field filled with possibilities. So, she was especially honored to be named a finalist in the Established Entrepreneurs category for the 2020 Women's Business Network of Ottawa Business Woman of the Year awards. After leading a small academy's special education program, Heather combined her spark for business strategy with her desire to help a broader range of special ed. students. The results were Open Door's private tutorial services for children struggling to learn how to read and write. Her super power? It's her team of tutors, who are "super invested in each student they work with." Join us for today's superlative Standing Out conversation with Heather Desjardins.
