Our New SIN Intern at the British High Commission in Ottawa – Rasna Sherchan
It’s my pleasure to introduce you to our newest SIN Intern, Rasna Sherchan. Rasna is bubbly and enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with. She has had lots of variend and interesting experience that she will be able to build on with us as part of the Science & Innovation team in Canada. To date (a little over a week since she’s been in the office) she has written blogs (below), bios (below and on UKinCanada SIN web page), done some ghost writing for us (it wouldn’t be ghost writing if I told you now would it ;)), helped me try to work out preliminary travel programs and has been a willing guinea pig for a few of my social media testing schemes. Rasna is an excellent addition to our Ottawa office, and the SIN Canada team, and we look forward to the adventures we will have together in the months moving forward! Welcome to the team Rasna!
