When I was 18 years old, I worked in a jewellery store in Kandy. I worked there to learn some skills. Then, after 2 years I went to Colombo. I worked there for a jewellery manufacturer. There I learned more things, such as how to create jewelry items in copper, silver and gold, using fundamental gold smith skills for entry-level employment in the jewellery Industry.
                After 5 years, I quit my job and opened my own jewellery workshop.  I repaired jewellery to industry standards and to meet customer satisfaction. Then, after 5 years I got married.  I started my sponsorship application to come to Canada. Sponsorship took almost 1 ½  years. In 2016, I closed my shop and came to Canada.
