Dona Nissangaratchie
Position: Website & Database Assistant
Team: Global Learning
Repping those vibrant island vibes straight from Sri Lanka! 🇱🇰 I’m currently a Film Production and Economics major at York University, combining the magical world of film with the analytical side of economics- a bumpy ride that keeps things exciting. When I’m not dissecting theories or diving deep into economic models, you’ll catch me out in the field, whether it’s biking, hiking, swimming, or just getting lost in the outdoors and when the adventure settles, I’m all about diving into a good book or losing myself in a podcast, feeding my mind with stories and ideas. If you see me at the piano or with my violin, it’s me escaping reality and getting lost in the magical world of music.

Hi everyone, my name is Hetil, & I’m an international student from India, the land of spices.

You will always find me binge-watching anime, movies or TV shows in my spare time. I also enjoy reading books, listening to music and playing volleyball and swimming. And yes, I do have a bit of a sweet tooth! I'm always down for anything sweet or desserts. (PS: I’m a die-hard Marvel fan!)

Faith Innes
Position: Graphic Design & Multimedia Assistant
Team: York International— Communications
My name is Faith Innes, and I am entering my third year as a Design student. I am from Guelph, but I have been jumping between cities in Ontario, so I rarely stay in one place for long. In my spare time, I like to get my hands on any creative hobby I can, whether it be crocheting, sculpting, painting and more!
If I was a meme, I would be:
The ant with a bag on a stick, as lately I’ve been staying at my friends' places a lot because of my long commute from work, so I end up looking like the tired ant while travelling around.
Sahaana Jeevendra
Position: Website & Social Media Assistant
Team: York International — Communications
Hey guys!
My name is Sahaana Jeevendra and I am currently in the Bilingual Business Economics program at Glendon College. I was born and raised here in Toronto.
In my spare time, I love being outside on a nice day either walking my two dogs or trying new food spots. If I'm relaxing indoors, I love to binge-watch a bunch of movies and tv shows that are new or I haven't seen yet. If I'm not in the YI office, I'm probably buying overpriced coffee at Aroma Espresso downstairs.
