Here, she worked with various government agencies, non-government agencies and universities leading a wide range of projects. At the South Pacific Flying Labs she also pioneered and conducted several youth programs like the “Fly Like A Girl’ and ‘Aerial Adventure’ programs. She designed these programs to encourage youths in the main island of Fiji to choose science, technology, engineering and mathematics in their schools, universities and eventually their career. In these programs she introduced Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicles (ROV) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) coupled with survey gear and photogrammetry software for data collection and processing.

Amrita was born and raised in the Fiji Islands in the South Pacific.
