With over 10 years of experience in non-profit organizations, international development and indigenous self-determination, Shobha has dedicated her professional career to community development both locally and globally. Her passion for human rights has led her to not only engage in indigenous dialogues responding to globalization and governance in North America, but to plan and implement international programs around capacity building, youth leadership, cross-cultural understanding, resource distribution/infrastructural development, and the social and economic empowerment of women. Shobha’s background in research, attuned communication, corporate social responsibility, and stakeholder engagement, reinforces her belief that the interconnectedness of our communities will continue to guide us in creating sustainable avenues of change.
