Fun Facts About Shevera

Pride of Australia Medal

Back in 2006, I was honored to receive the Pride of Australia Young Aussie Medal from The Daily Telegraph. It’s a milestone that still holds a very special place in my heart today.

Toastmasters Enthusiast

Beyond the office, I thrive on helping others find their voice. I’m currently serving as an Area Director, where I get a front-row seat to watching people grow and shine.

Always Growing

I am a self-proclaimed lifelong learner. The best part? My clients are my greatest teachers, I pick up something new and valuable from every single one of them.

A World of Perspective

Born in Hong Kong to Sri Lankan parents and raised in Australia, my life has been a vibrant mix of cultures. This multicultural background is my secret sauce for connecting deeply with diverse clients.

Creative Spark

When I’m not working, I love letting my imagination run wild. I’m always dabbling in new projects, from the intricate knots of macramé and air-dry clay sculpting to complex LEGO builds.
