Hi, thanks for stopping by!
Hey, there! I'm Senuri Wasalathanthri. I was born and raised in Sri Lanka but then decided to move halfway across the world in search of better opportunities. You can now find me in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada!
Being quite the humanitarian, I was always inspired by stories that add value, shift perspectives, and open people's minds and hearts to the wonder called life that we're all trying to make sense of.
Hence, I was a writer for one of the largest lifestyle media platforms in Sri Lanka, Pulse.lk. I dabbled in writing articles, scripts for short videos and documentary scripts during my time there.
I aspire to be a storyteller with a purpose and an author in the long run. I currently write blog posts, magazine articles, press releases, profiles, memoirs, social media copy, short video scripts and documentary scripts.
If you believe that I can be of help to you, please let me know. I'd be more than happy to collaborate!
