Dayalan has had the privilege of working on various youth development programmes with agencies across both public and private sectors. He firmly believes that holding a safe space for peers to be vulnerable about their mental health struggles is a step in the right direction towards building resilience and recovery. In his free time, he enjoys spending time in nature, travelling and engaging in adventure based activities.
Darren majored in communications and has worked in the government, legal and non-profit sectors. He is keen on mentoring others and wants to build people to be their best self. He is passionate about making a difference through communications and marketing in mental health, through digital visual storytelling while using the power of words. During his free time, Darren volunteers at an animal shelter, is passionate about wildlife conservation, loves gardening, and exploring far flung places. “The goal is not to live forever, but to create something that does.”
