I am a member of the Canadian Media Guild. I am a freelance reporter and a founding member of the Canadian Freelance Guild (CFG). As a volunteer journalist, I have made a significant impact in the media, particularly through my role as a board director for the Indo-American Press Club. In this capacity, I advocate for journalistic integrity, cross-cultural dialogue, and professional excellence. As a dedicated supporter of the Malayalam language and culture, I have played a vital role in preserving and promoting my heritage. In my previous position as president of the Malayalee Cultural Association of Calgary, I fostered strong community engagement. My passion for literature led me to establish Kavya Sandhya with like-minded individuals—a platform dedicated to nurturing literary and cultural activities among the younger generations of Kerala. This initiative unites creative individuals and creates a vibrant community that celebrates creativity while preserving the region's rich cultural heritage. To further this mission, I currently serve as the Canada coordinator for the Malayalam Mission—an initiative spearheaded by the Government of Kerala—reinforcing my commitment to safeguarding our linguistic and cultural heritage. Professionally, I am a Cathodic Protection Specialist and a Certified Coating Inspector, responsible for ensuring the integrity and longevity of metal structures through advanced corrosion prevention techniques. My expertise has been recognized by the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP), where I previously served as secretary for the AMPP Calgary Chapter within the U.S. and Canada Northern Area. As a writer, I have published two highly regarded books in the Malayalam language under the pen name J.J. Adoor: "Thura" and "Padmasreeyum Swathanthryavum," which further solidifies my influence in literary circles.
