Mandeep K. Atwal, LL.B.
Mandeep K. Atwal has been an advocate for human rights and equality since she was a young child born in Medicine Hat, Alberta. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from the University of Calgary, and went on to receive her law degree from the University of Ottawa. She articled in Toronto, Ontario with a criminal defense law firm, where she was eventually hired as an associate lawyer. She went on to practice immigration law with the federal Department of Justice. In 2005, she moved back to Calgary, Alberta to begin her family with her husband, Samir.
After her son was diagnosed with autism, she realized her true calling in life was to be an advocate for those living with autism. She soon began volunteering at organizations for autism support and took a more proactive role by speaking about autism in public schools, malls, local non-profit organizations and foundations, and even corporations. Her first book, Noble Victory, is another step in her advocacy journey, and she hopes that by sharing her story, other families will feel inspired and gain strength in unity. Spreading awareness, fostering acceptance, and ensuring inclusion is the foundation of her advocacy work. Through this work she hopes that those living with autism will be afforded more opportunities to be open about their struggles and victories. Mandeep currently lives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with her family and continues her advocacy work to this day. She is one of the founders, a director, and the President of the CRA registered non-profit Noble Victory Autism Foundation. All royalties from book sales will be donated to the Noble Victory Autism Foundation and used to develop sustainable supports and services for those with autism. |
