Comment: This is basically a CV/resume, not an encyclopaedia article. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:17, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
Comment: There is too much unreferenced content. Conversely, there is unnecessary WP:REFBOMBING, eg. we do not need six citations to support the statement that she is the CEO of Solve Education.Crunchbase is a deprecated source and must not be cited. LinkedIn and Facebook are user-generated, and therefore not considered reliable. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:16, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
