Divya
Health and Education Strategist
A public health professional with experience in several countries, I have worked on projects in maternal and child health, migrant health, and most recently on revamping the public education curriculum for teachers across Myanmar. I love to become an active member of my community regardless of where I am or if I speak the language. As I integrate no matter whether I am in my home countries of the United States and India or in rural or peri-urban areas of Myanmar or Ethiopia, I do my best to understand the needs of my local community and become a supporter of reducing the inequalities present in whatever ways I can. In doing so I have become a passionate advocate for sustainable long-term development and for a future in which resources and opportunities are distributed more equitably across continents and communities. I feel that by becoming closer to the communities in which I am placed, I better understand how finite the world’s resources are, how paramount it is that we distribute them fairly, and how to do so. As a member of the TRESTLE team, I hope that we can work on projects to build a world in which others can benefit in the same way that I have benefited from my own access to resources and opportunities.

Sanket
Engineering Specialist
As a child, I have always been interested in science. Technology seemed almost like magic however once I started building my understanding, it became clearer and not as unreachable as it first appeared to be. I currently work for Phutung Research Institute as a researcher for developing an imaging device for medical purposes. I have completed a MEng degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the University of Manchester. My interests and opportunities have led me to gain experience in a broad number of fields such as Electronics, Photonics, Programming and Power systems. As much as I admire technology, I am also wary about the impact each new development brings. A fear that I have is the people who may be left behind by the ever-increasing speed of progress and the instability it can potentially bring. There are numerous problems in numerous areas, and this should not be a terrible thing, but hope of a better tomorrow. I want to make this potential come true.
Joseph
Finance Strategist
Having been raised in a transnational household, living half my life in South Africa and the other in the Netherlands, my passion was always to understand the enormous disparity in living standards between my two homes, and what could to be done to combat it. It was this passion which lead me to pursue a Bachelor’s in Environment and Development, and Masters in Development Studies from the London School of Economics. During these studies, I was introduced to concepts of corporate social responsibility, and the crucial role of finance and business in promoting and leading the economic shift towards a more sustainable way of life. With this new perspective, I chose to pursue a career in the Financial Services, spending a year working for an asset management firm in the Netherlands, before joining Ernst and Young (EY), based in London. As I continue to develop my financial skills and understanding, I hope to eventually use these in order to help drive the change that we need, and participate in the creation of a more sustainable and equitable society.
