Jyo Shukla
BOARD MEMBER, MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS
I’ve called the wonderful community of Camden home for the last four years. My professional background is in customer experience and digital strategy, but I’ve always felt a strong drive to use my skills to give back. Over the years, I’ve volunteered my time supporting women and children, particularly in STEM education.
Joining Blue Wren House is my way of contributing to a cause that affects so many but is often unseen. While I’ve been fortunate not to experience domestic or family violence myself, I’ve seen its devastating impacts on women and children. It’s heartbreaking to witness how abuse can take away a person’s sense of safety and potential. I believe everyone deserves a safe place to call home and the chance to rebuild their lives.
I’m looking forward to using my experience to help raise awareness, bring our community together, and support these women and children on their journey to a better future..
