Empowering Diversity in our Communities
From the moment I began working with people from different backgrounds, cultures, and life experiences, I realised that my greatest strength lay not in titles or roles, but in connection. Whether in classrooms, workshops, or workplaces, I have always been drawn to understanding people — what holds them back, what inspires them, and what helps them move forward.
My Story
My journey began in education, where I worked as a lecturer in tertiary institutions, supporting mature students returning to learning with courage, uncertainty, and determination. Walking alongside them through moments of self-doubt and growth showed me how powerful belief can be — and how transformative it is when people feel truly seen and encouraged.
Alongside this, I expanded my work in mindfulness, breathwork, and emotional agility, facilitating workshops that help individuals pause, reconnect with themselves, and break through limiting beliefs. I have witnessed people rediscover confidence, clarity, and joy, and make meaningful changes in their lives and careers.
Originally from India, I moved to New Zealand as an international student with no established network, limited financial support, and no family around me. Building a life from scratch shaped my resilience, empathy, and deep understanding of change.
Alongside my people-centred work, I bring over 20 years of experience in the technology sector. These experiences led me to found Tech Beyond Gender — a platform rooted in lived experience, research, and a commitment to creating inclusive, humane workplaces.
