Guest Speaker: Hashwina Vimalarajan

Shout Out Speaker from The Centre for Multicultural Youth

Born in India, raised in the Middle East and now living in Australia, Hashwina is what they call a ‘Third culture Kid’, raised in a culture completely different from her own, yet comfortable enough to call it home. As an Environmental Scientist, she’s equally passionate about environmental sustainability and currently works for the Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand, a non-profit professional organization that supports environmental practitioners. Outside of work, she’s an advocate for environmental refugees, mental health, women’s rights and improving access for marginalised groups through various social justice initiatives including her role as a Shout Out Speaker and Youth Advisory Group member at CMY.

In her spare time, Hashwina is part of a South Asian dance group, a hiker and avid reader. In three words she describes herself as curious, compassionate and charismatic.
