The Lisburn woman has this week been named as one of the winners of Innovate UK’s Women in Innovation Awards. Michelle joins a cohort of 50 winners who will each benefit from a £50,000 grant, one-to-one business coaching, and a suite of networking, role modelling, and training opportunities.

She is the co-founder of Kinva and has created an innovative AI platform that connects health therapists from around the world with potential clients - the inspiration comes from her daughter’s rare genetic disorder.
