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 🎨.
