Who I am

My name is Hiranthi Nilusha Kalansooriya, and this blog reflects my CV and professional journey. I share my education, work experience, and learning experiences that shaped my career.

I started in banking in 2010 as a Banking Assistant at DFCC Bank, building skills in customer service, counter operations, cash handling, and teamwork. Working with customers taught me communication, patience, and responsibility.

In 2015, I was promoted to Pawning Officer, gaining experience in gold assaying, pawning transactions, redemptions, and the management of overdue accounts. I also supported promotional activities, improving decision-making and attention to detail.

In 2018, I became the Officer in Charge at DFCC Bank, responsible for transactions, cash and ATM balancing, clearing operations, staff supervision, and ensuring branch efficiency. Leading a team developed my leadership, motivation, and accountability.

Alongside work, I focused on learning, earning a Diploma in Banking and Finance from the Institute of Bankers of Sri Lanka as an Associate Member. I am currently pursuing an MBA at London Metropolitan University to enhance my leadership, strategy, and management skills.

This blog is my CV and journey, my growth, learning, and goals. I aim to share my experiences, lessons, and future ambitions as I continue to grow professionally.
