I was born and raised in a typical Newari family in Kathmandu. I am tenacious, thoughtful and imaginative in nature. I did not have a solid ambition as a kid. However, as I grew up, in the face of sudden resource limitations in the family, I pushed myself frequently to help my family by working multiple shifts of jobs. Beyond my jobs, I also served at Leo Club of Kathmandu Sukunda as a Joint Secretary.

My long term interests now are in software project management and in rural development. These areas require effective leadership skills like great communication and interpersonal skills, calm and positive attitude, problem solving ability, team and resource management, negotiation skills, social skills and a broad mindset. When I saw a post of Teach for Nepal with hashtag #Changebeginsinclassroom, I decided that I had to join this Fellowship for myself, for the students, and for the country as well as my own kins. If I could continuously learn, develop myself and understand diverse people and cultures while also influencing life of so many students, schools and community, I found no reason to not join this movement.

By joining Teach For Nepal’s movement, I want to make an impact on the lives of students, school and community with quality education. I want to help them realize their abilities and opportunities. Through TFN’s movement to end inequality in education, I am confident that I will not only be making a difference in education in Nepal but also developing myself personally, professionally and socially.
