Connecting with people is a major driving force for my being. Listening to different stories of individuals that gets weaved with time never cease to amaze me. I can see myself in the various facets of stories people share with me; the stories created by one’s life journey. How different we all are? Yet, how similar our stories are; binding us together creating coherence amidst chaos. This search for “connectedness” has brought me at SeSTA working with individuals. I take pleasure in receiving and sharing knowledge with individuals engendering a movement in the stagnant waters. Apart from seeking meaningful relationships in life, I also enjoy music, debates and humor!
