Having one’s roots in the culturally rich city of Mangaluru, Blanche, a songbird is someone who delights not only in the occasional song but also in leisure walks on the city’s serene shores. Her passions shine through not just in her love and care for animals but also in her adulation of books and her fervent Sudoku addiction. Eager to carve out her own niche, she developed interests in entrepreneurship, foreign policy, climate change and sustainable finance through her internships with the Headstart Network Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation. Always up for a conversation, Blanche is on a mission to leave her mark on the world, one song, one step, and one good deed at a time. Blanche’s desire to learn beyond academic boundaries, advance her understanding of the complex world, and shape her individual identity is what brings her to the YIF.
