My profile
Born in 1969, I am of Emmental and Sri Lankan descent and grew up between Zurich, Geneva and London.
Since 2016, I have been working for the city of Zurich as a funeral consultant and have conducted funeral ceremonies as a specialist for farewell rituals and grief counselling, certified by Lebensgrund GmbH / Lucerne.
Translator’s degree from Geneva University
Certificate in adult education from the Swiss Association for Adult Education
As I call several places home, I prefer questions to answers and fancy the in-between. I travel a lot and visit the landscapes of mourning again and again. I am sustained in my relationship with my wife and in being with my friends.
My concern is to be reconciled and whole with my apparent contradictions.
