My journey as a cultural architect began in Rome, where I was adopted at two months old into a white Anglo-Italian family. Growing up in this bilingual household wasn't just my first home—it was my first lesson in the power of cultural fusion, where differences created harmony rather than discord.

 

This early immersion in dual cultures awakened a natural gift for languages and a deep fascination with human diversity. As I navigated between worlds, themes of identity, belonging, and inclusion became more than abstract concepts—they were the fabric of my daily experience. My position as 'the other' in various contexts didn't diminish me; instead, it developed into a unique lens through which I came to understand the transformative power of diverse perspectives.

 

Recent exploration of my ancestry has revealed Mauritian and Sri Lankan heritage, adding new dimensions to my cultural identity. This personal tapestry of cultures mirrors the complex, beautiful diversity I now help organizations embrace and leverage.

 

Throughout my career spanning multiple industries and cultures, I've transformed my lived experience into professional expertise. At Cultural Nexus, I architect organisational cultures where difference isn't just acknowledged—it's a catalyst for innovation and growth. We design environments where every individual's unique identity becomes a building block for stronger, more resilient organisations.

 

My approach is deeply personal yet professionally proven: when we intentionally design for diversity, we create spaces where both individuals and organisations thrive. The question isn't whether diversity adds value—it's how we can best architect cultures that amplify its power.
