I received my first degree in Mass Communication from the University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka. There, I passed in the first class, scoring the highest GPA with a gold medal. Also, I won the \u2018Shelton Gunarathne scholarship\u2019 for the highest scoring student, making me the first student to win that scholarship in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During my undergraduate studies, I trained at several institutions. As a scriptwriter at Susila Productions House, I provided creative support for several teledramas. After that, I worked as a media assistant at the CAFFE organization and later as a journalist at Rivira News Paper. Following graduation, I joined the Ministry of Economic Development as a Press Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;I was appointed as an Assistant Lecturer in the Department of Mass Communication, at the University of Kelaniya in 2013. It was a turning point in my life as I started my academic career with that. In 2015 I chose to attend the University of Tokyo, Japan, for my postgraduate degree. There I studied for a master\u2019s degree in journalism, but I could not complete it as I had to return to Sri Lanka due to a sudden illness. Instead, I obtained a Master of Philosophy in Mass Communication from the University of Kelaniya in 2017. There I studied Gesture Communication. In 2018&nbsp;I was appointed as a Lecturer in Mass Communication at the Rajarata University of Sri Lanka. I am currently teaching and looking in areas such as media research, print media, media and culture, and media criticism. Now&nbsp;I am a member of ECLIPSE18 where I am reading for a Ph.D. in Health Communication. I hope to create a model of how the media should deal with a health issue from that study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"wp-image-1830\" style=\"width: 30px;\" src=\"https:\/\/fssh.rjt.ac.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4207248.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fssh.rjt.ac.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4207248.png 512w, https:\/\/fssh.rjt.ac.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4207248-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/fssh.rjt.ac.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4207248-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/fssh.rjt.ac.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/4207248-500x500.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 30px) 100vw, 30px\" \/> <strong>Educational qualifications<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>MPhil \u2013 mass communication, Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Kelaniya, Kelaniya, Sri Lanka. 2017.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bachelor of art (B.A.) \u2013 mass communication special degree, with first class (hon.)
