Hello! My name is Imashi Kavithma Gunathilake and I am from Sri Lanka.I came to Australia for my higher studies. I studied a Bachelor of Business Information Systems majoring in Data Analytics, which I soon realised is not something I was passionate about. I then did some thinking and immediately remembered what I wanted to be when I was in Kinder, a teacher. I taught my parents and grandparents the things I learnt in Kinder and thought I should become a teacher. So, I started studying a Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Education and started working as an Educator. I enjoy my free time trying different cuisines and watching movies.
