My journey began in India, where I grew up in a multi-linguistic, multi-cultural family, having lived in 9 different states, mostly independently. This foundation prepared me for my international adventures, including time in Canada and Paris, pursuing higher education in the U.S., and working in the UK. Each transition brought unique challenges and invaluable lessons, shaping my understanding of cultural integration, evolving identity, and resilience.
