Born to a Danish mother and a father who fled Iran as a political refugee, and raised in Aarhus, Denmark, Hjorth’s identity, childhood in an immigrant-dominant neighborhood, primary schooling in the Nordic system, and entrepreneurial spirit nurtured by Danish government investment in startups have all informed her mission-driven work.

CanopyLAB grew out of Hjorth’s doctoral studies in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) at Aalborg University (not yet completed), which focused on the way immigrants use ICT to navigate the Danish workforce, how virtual learning can empower migrants and young people, and the role of NGOs in the digital learning space. She is yet to defend her thesis.
