OUR TEAM

The skillset Nirmala utilizes to run events and coordinate projects is thanks to her diverse academic background and community involvement. Nirmala attended both the University of Toronto as well as York University. She graduated with a Honours Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Education and Master of Arts in Anthropology. Nirmala is currently working as an elementary school teacher in the Toronto District School Board. In addition to co-founding 'Green Dupatta', Nirmala is the 2015 Miss West Indian Canadian Queen. 

Jay uses his extensive background and expertise to help plan and execute Green Dupatta fundraising events. Jay successfully started his first business at the age of 20 and his second at 21. Not only is Jay an incredible asset to the Green Dupatta Team, he also continues to  inspire his colleagues from 'Events by Andrew' to volunteer their time at our annual fundraiser.  Jay is a Humber College graduate in Hospitality and Business Management.
