SANITH SANTHASA PIYADIGAMAGE
Writer, Storyteller, Trainer, and Speaker
At just 17 years old, I'm honored to have been able to contribute to the whole, in the world of literature and storytelling. With six publications to the name since 2018 and the seventh eagerly anticipated in October 2025..
Born in a land known for its inimitable hospitality and notable history, Sri Lanka, and then growing up in the UAE for last 16 years, it feels all about fond reflections. Currently pursuing my AS levels in Psychology, Biology, and Math, I am honored to have been referred to as multifaceted individual who has broken barriers and set new records. As the youngest guest author to conduct a discussion forum at the Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF) in 2019 and as the youngest storyteller at the Sharjah International Narrators Forum (SINF) since 2021, captivating audiences with compelling narratives and unique insights, I must say is truly rewarding.
In recognition of an outstanding contribution to culture and arts, I was awarded the prestigious Golden Residency in the UAE, making me the youngest recipient in the said category. My journey, so far, is simply a testament to dedication, creativity, and passion for storytelling.
From where every word's weaved - to echoes of the future.,

Training - a powerful tool for continuous improvement and team cohesion. Moreover, I guess, it's about one Skill at a Time. Trust facilitates open communication. The mere reason, why I consider it to be crucial to build trust and ensure the session is relevant and relatable.
