Mathura's academic and professional journey is a compelling testament to her dedication and skill in the legal field. She commenced her educational pursuit with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) and a Master of Arts from York University, where she demonstrated both her intellectual depth and breadth. Furthering her passion for law, she earned her law degree from the University of Windsor, a period during which she actively engaged in community-oriented legal initiatives.

While at law school, Mathura was a dynamic member of the Pro Bono Students of Canada. She played a pivotal role in a project aimed at enhancing accessibility in the banking industry for underserved communities, showcasing her commitment to social justice. Additionally, Mathura extended her influence to the educational sphere, serving as a classroom facilitator in the Windsor High School Outreach Program, where she inspired young minds to consider careers in law.

Notably, Mathura's advocacy skills were recognized early on, earning her a distinction in her first year Legal Research and Writing Moot. This early accolade was a precursor to her successful legal career.

Her professional journey began in earnest when she was called to the Ontario bar in 2017. Mathura embarked on a significant tenure as Legal Counsel with the Ministry of the Attorney General. There, she played a crucial role in the modernization of family law legislation, simultaneously cultivating a profound interest and expertise in child welfare and protection. Her work involved advocating for Ontario Disability Support Program recipients and collaborating with the Family Responsibility Office. Mathura's contributions in this role were marked by strategic advice and support in multifaceted legal issues, encompassing human rights, labour, and employment.

Before her current position at Diamond & Diamond, Mathura refined her legal practice as an associate at a renowned family law firm in the Region of Peel. Her tenure there saw her representing clients across various court levels, including the Ontario Superior Court and the Court of Appeal.
