I am a 5th-generation Indian born and brought up in the Netherlands. Since childhood I had been dreaming about living in India, so on 4 February 2020 I took the leap. Right now I am staying here as a digital nomad in the midst of local people.
I received my Bachelor of Communication (B Comn), with a specialisation in Business Communication, from the Hogeschool Utrecht in 2012. In the same year I had completed my minor in Applied Psychology from the Hogeschool Leiden. But my career journey had started way back, as in primary school my teacher thought I was gifted and made me join extra curricular activities to work on my digital and writing skills.
That is how at 7 I created my first website and started writing. At 14 I became more serious about it and at 16 I had my first official assignment as an interviewer. Since then I started working on small projects as a communications assistant. In 2012 I became a self-employed communication professional and now I have worked for several government, non-government and (semi-)commercial organisations.
My main activities cover online communication, that includes branding, storytelling, (ghost)writing, CMS webdesign, social media, webcare and content management. I also love to go incognito as a mystery guest to do some undercover research for my clients. Further, I have organised several events for my clients. My biggest event was Desi Milan, a charity event with 1000 guests to raise awareness and funds for School4Kids India.
In my free time I like to practise yoga, meditation, work on my fitness, travel and go on hikes, treks or adventure challenges. I have a bucketlist and try to check off some items every month. Furthermore, I like to challenge myself to step out of my comfort zone, face my fears and explore life.
