Founders
Aparna worked for 11 years as a medical doctor in Australian hospitals. Moving to the U.S. in 2011, she provided accessible mental health support and stress management coaching to professional women. In 2016, using screen-free, low-cost voice technology, she began supporting children to build social and mental resilience skills. A year later, Aparna built an interactive mental health game on Alexa for the home and launched AskMyClass, to provide behavioral support for the PK-6 classroom.
