Hi!
My name is Shekainah Mendis and I am an aspiring student of Communications and Digital Journalism at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, BC. I was born and raised in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and began pursuing my career when I came to Canada in 2022. Growing up, I had a keen interest in writing and media. Over time, that interest has expanded to digital photography, travel, and content creation. Aside from professional interests, I am also passionate about music, theatre, language, dance, and my dogs.
My experience in university and professionally has given me the opportunity to sharpen my skill set and gain new knowledge in communications and digital journalism. I was also able to develop journalistic skills such as researching, interviewing, and article writing through hands-on experience at the university.
