More than just my work
As a south Asian individual who fluently speaks English and Tamil, I take great pride and embrace my cultural heritage, which has been deeply ingrained in me through the encouragement of my first generation Tamil Canadian Parents. My upbringing has instilled in me strong South Asian roots, fostering a deep connection to my values and beliefs. Through my lives experiences, I have grown closer to my roots, nurturing a profound sensitivity towards the diversity of my background.
