Who Am I?

Hi there! My name is Anuva Arrya Sharma and I am passionate about encouraging an equitable and inclusive society. You might be thinking, okay... a lots of young professionals have big dreams, but how are YOU going to achieve this?  I seek to apply my research, communication, and interpersonal skills towards advocating for innovative policy and program solutions that improve quality of life outcomes of Canadians and people worldwide. My background, values, and evolving skillset allow me to continuously work towards this goal. 

​

 I value effective communication, engagement and collaboration with diverse stakeholders, and contextualizing qualitative and quantitative findings to create compelling narratives for holistic policy development. I have worked with the federal and provincial government, non-profits, and small businesses and held various volunteer leadership positions through my undergraduate and graduate degrees. To me, success is not a just a metric, but rather, a journey that continues to evolve depending on changing needs. I believe true project and policy success is achieved when the people most impacted by my work can say their quality of life lives has been made better because of it. If I am able to achieve that in any capacity, I consider my work a job well done. 

My personal travels growing up and my academic and living experience abroad during my MPP exchange semester, have played a crucial role in my open-minded and collaborative nature. Through my exchange term, I learnt how Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries effectively tackle societal challenges by considering their sociocultural, economic, and geopolitical context within policy development and implementation. As someone who loves to travel, exploring different cities and cultures has allowed me to develop a deep appreciation for people with different lived experiences than my own.  

I have led volunteer leadership teams at the graduate, undergraduate, and high school level, that have allowed me to cultivate an inclusive and encouraging environment for all team members. I believe in the importance of providing team members with support and guidance, and continue to gravitate towards roles that allow me to engage in mentorship. My love for travel and mentorship, allow me to effectively serve domestic and global clients with various backgrounds, as I value the importance of understanding various needs and wants of differrent people.
