Oviya was born in the Southern part of India, and has lived and grown up in various other parts of India. She completed a degree in Architecture, but then went on to become an English teacher out of sheer love for the language and its nuances. She speaks English, Hindi and Tamil.

After having taught English for about 4 years in New Delhi, she decided to move to Ireland to pursue a master’s degree in ELT and further her journey in this field abroad. She now works at a language school as both a teacher and a manager. The best part of her job, acccording to her, is the fact that she gets to meet people form all walks of life and various cultures. She feels it has helped her grow both professionally and personally.

Outside of school, she enjoys yoga, watching and reading crime thrillers and cups of “chai” with her friends.

今集嘅嘉賓係嚟自印度嘅Oviya。佢係建築學學士畢業，當轉型投身英文老師嘅行列。顯示為都柏林一間語言學校嘅老師及經理，佢會同我哋分享吓點解從事呢個行業，同埋作為一個持有工作證嘅人，喺愛爾蘭面對嘅心理壓力。
