Stories that matter. Messages that move.

Hi. I am Mitali

As a communications professional, I’ve witnessed the power of stories to inspire change, build trust, and shift systems. I am now looking to channel my skills toward creating global impact—where inclusive communication and purpose-led messaging meet action. My goal is to continue contributing to the progress of the SDGs with sincerity, creativity, and integrity.

​

When I’m not delving in campaign strategy or storytelling mode, you’ll probably find me nose-deep in a novel 📚 (fiction forever—literature grad + ex-Penguin Random House editor energy!), planning my next escape to the mountains 🏔️ or a sun-soaked city ☀️, or happily having a mouth-watering meal at an Italian restaurant 🍝.

​

I’ve traveled to 20+ countries 🌍, volunteered with the Soka Gakkai Buddhist community for over a decade 🕊️, and carry the philosophy of the Lotus Sutra—that peace begins with each person’s happiness—as a daily anchor 🌸. I foster animals 🐾 when I can, recently fell in love with making ceramics 🏺, and firmly believe that joy lives in the little things: like a great espresso ☕, a dog’s tail wag 🐶, or finding the perfect plate glaze 🎨.
