Our Story

Founder of Motify, Shauna-Kay Jones began her entrepreneurial journey in August 2016. She was helping her brother, who has autism, choose courses for his academic transition. She became aware that her brother and students alike have a lack of tools and supports for academic success in their transition from high school to post-secondary. This encouraged Shauna’s realization of the challenges that students face in their academic journey in addition to personal development.

Following research, Shauna and the Motify team came to an understanding that students with and without exceptionalities need a success tool to support transitional skill development to bridge the gap between academics and adulthood, and to connect them to resources when needed.

Motify aims to support the academic journey of students while supporting their personal skill development to last throughout their lives.
