I am a B.Sc (pharmacy) Hons. graduate from the University of Colombo. I completed my masters in Pharmaceutical Sciences in KULeuven, Belgium.

I was a National Consultant (Essential Drugs and Medical Technology) at the World Health Organization (WHO) for 4 years.

I have also worked in the National Medicine Regulatory Authority (NMRA) as a Graduate Pharmacist and there was handling evaluation of Drugs and Cosmetics which intends to register in Sri Lanka.
