My Story
A journey of purpose that keeps unfolding
My journey began in Kerala, India, where I discovered the power of empathy, community and service. Over the years, that spark took me across continents — learning from diverse cultures, working with young people and communities, and understanding that our challenges are different, yet our hopes are the same.
