From attending my first panel on Women’s Day in 2023 to being a panelist at DUBS Faculty Night this year — what a full-circle moment. Grateful to share my PhD journey from Sri Lanka to Australia & meet so many inspiring students. @deakinuniversity.bsky.social

Silk. Sold-out show. 200 people. And one very surprised speaker.
Spoke at @nerdnitehh.bsky.social 1st show of the year—shared how silk is more than fabric to a packed crowd. Best part? Seeing their perspective shift in real time.
