While I initially dreamt of being a doctor and serving the society, my idea of the means to serving the society has changed over time. I now want to work for children as a teacher as I know how lack of information and knowledge can affect the goals we set in our lives and the chances of our achieving them.

I see myself a kind-hearted, honest and social person. For me, happiness is to succeed at work and make my family feel proud. My hobbies are walking in the morning in the garden, reading and writing, music, children, and travelling to new and different places. I have worked as a Social Mobilizer in the past and served in different community level programs.

While working for one organization, I had to give awareness classes to girls in rural Terai. It was about the importance of education, but there were very few students who used to attend school. I went and did counselling with the parents and tried my best to bring the girls to school. It was very difficult to convince them at first, the parents ultimately changed their minds and sent the girls back. At TFN also, I saw many Fellows working for girls and returning them to school, which has touched me. I decided that I should be a part of TFN to become a part of this collective effort.

I feel excited now doing something new in my life through the Fellowship. I want this experience to develop and change my own thinking towards the community, and to increase my confidence level. My long term mission in my life now is to become a transformative teacher and to continue serving in the field of education so that I may continue to change the lives of children who may otherwise would not get quality education.
