Education: Bachelor’s of Business Administration, College of Applied Business

My parents used to own a small shop in our hometown. I used to help them as I enjoyed dealing with customers and counting money as a kid. That could have been a guiding factor to becoming a banker or businesswomen. I used to stand first in most of my exams during my schooling. After completing SEE exams, I choose Management as my major for high school. Along with academics, I have always been passionate about working for a social cause. I have volunteered in social organizations like AISEC and helped them raise funds during my college days. I have also served as a member of Student Welfare Council for 2 years. Working with different social organizations, I developed my interpersonal skills, which I believe will prove necessary while living and working in any new community. The first time I saw the statement, “What if your first job is changing the nation?” on Facebook, I considered it as a call from Teach For Nepal. The stories of people inspire me. I love hearing stories. I also want to become real-life changemaker in students’ lives and be part of their stories in the future. During the two years of my Fellowship, one major goal will be to help my students identify their strengths and recognize opportunities. I want to teach them that no job is big or small and one will only grow as much as one allows.
