One of our own, making us proud. 💙
Shanelle Tennekoon's passion for helping people live more independently is making a mark in Australia. Pursuing her PhD at Curtin University, her creation- SmartWheel, is born from the spark she found as an Electronics and Electrical Engineering undergraduate at SLIIT.
With two WAITTA INCITE Awards for SmartWheel and a place among Australia’s top FameLab finalists, she has so much to be proud of. And we’re proud to be part of where her story began.
Watch Shanelle share her journey in her own words.
