Zoology
Hi, I’m Dimithra Dayaratne, an undergraduate student studying Zoology with Conservation. I grew up in Sri Lanka. My goal in life is to become a chief sustainability officer, as I am passionate in environmental management. I know the struggles some of you guys might face. Leaving your friends and family probably for the first time, trying to fit in with your peers, or things like setting up your new bank account. International students in particular might struggle with some aspects like the culture shock or having no relatives in the country. I strive to ensure that everyone has a smooth and easy transition to their new chapter in life.
