Dharshini is a Barrister at Law, called to the Bar at Middle Temple Inns of Court, London, UK. She has lived both in the UK and Holland for over 20 years and received her school, university and post graduate education there.

She is a professional with excellent organisational and communication skills. She started her career with lecturing the Chartered Secretaries and Administrators courses and then went on to qualify and practise law.
Dharshini’s varied experience in the corporate and commercial sectors demonstrate a strategic approach and logical thinking.

Having returned to Sri Lanka a few years ago she engaged in project work both on an international basis working in the Middle East and also locally. Her intention is to be part of the current developing phase at the grass root level for a better Sri Lanka.

Three years ago Dharshini set up an Educational Consultancy offering study and career guidance to both students and mature students. This led to much interest from the Corporate sector in Sri Lanka for the psychometric and ability testing that was involved in this process.

Dharshini became certified to run the PAPI psychometric and ability tests through Cubiks Ltd, an UK company with a global presence. She now offers a wide spectrum of tests for recruitment, development, leadership training and various ability tests. As the Corporate and commercial sectors in Sri Lanka are growing the need for accurate placement and development of incoming and existing staff has become a priority  and is now seen as a major asset to organisations. High performing and high potential staff need to be groomed and retained by these organisations.

Dharshini recently joined the Rotary Club of Colombo Metropolitan to further her passion and interest in helping the various projects undertaken to give back and aid the community at large.

Dharshini has two daughters Savannah and Tanja both studying for A Level and O Level exams respectively. Dharshini is delighted to be back in her home land and yet is passionate about travelling and discovering new countries, their cultures and cuisine.
