About me

My parents fled Sri Lanka during the Civil War and came to a small town in rural Italy, just south of Rome, where I was born and raised. They worked hard to give me the chance to be the first in my family to graduate from high school and college. I owe everything I’ve accomplished to them.

Over the past eight years, I have had the incredible opportunity to work and study across the world — from Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and Australia to South Korea, Denmark, and Italy — focusing on how I can help build a more sustainable future for our planet, and for the places like where my parents grew up.
