In celebration of Women’s History Month, we are highlighting inspiring women in online learning education. Reimagining how course creators teach and deliver course work, these women are pioneers questioning old ideologies and uncovering innovative solutions.
A former teacher turned edupreneur, Ana Lorena Fabrega, a.k.a. Ms. Fab, co-created Write of Passage Summer Camp with David Perell. With this virtual learning experience children from all over the world meet and work on passion projects. She also hosts several YouTube channels where she explores ideas in the alternative education space and discusses the future of education with a playful twist.

When Mehak dropped out of college in 2016, she wanted to break into marketing but lacked the knowledge, network, and experience to guide her. She has since created a new model for job training to close the gap.
Approaching job training differently, Mehak Vora is the CEO and founder of SkillBank (formerly OnDelta), an online program focused on training the next generation of marketers. In this 15-week part-time career accelerator, learners pay nothing upfront until they land their first marketing job paying $40,000 or more. Mehak believes that everyone should have access to education and opportunities to succeed.
Learn more about SkillBank’s origin story.
