Namaste (NAH-muh-stay) Squamish—yet another person has fallen in love with this community.

As a journalist who relocated from Delhi to Vancouver in 2022, I never expected to discover a piece of paradise in Squamish. My first visit to Squamish was in the winter of 2022, with partially snow-covered roads. The warm coffee from Fox & Oak that I clutched in my hands was the ideal remedy for the cold weather.

Since then, I found myself driving up to Squamish almost every weekend. I tell my friends that I have manifested Squamish in my life because the minute I saw an opening for a job at The 小蓝视频 I knew it was fate. Coming from the bustling streets of Delhi, discovering a sense of belonging in a place like Squamish is the most ironic twist life has presented me with.

Equipped with an Indigenous knowledge certificate, I have covered everything from major international events like the International Marine Protected Areas Congress (IMPAC5) conference to community gatherings such as Vancouver's Women's Memorial March.

I have experience working with various organizations such as C小蓝视频, Al Jazeera, The Wire, Xtra Magazine, and the Global Reporting Program at U小蓝视频. And now, I am at your service.

In this role I will be able to tell stories from Squamish, the Squamish Valley and Paradise Valley. If you have a story you think I should tell, let me know.

You can reach me at [email protected].

And, if you ever see me out walking my dog—Barfi—come and say hey!
