Education: BA(English), Pashupati Multiple College, Tribhuvan University, Nepal

I belong to the Tamang community of the Dhanusha district. I have five members in my family. My dad is a teacher and my mom works at Udayapur Cement Factory in Jaljale, Udayapur. I have two younger brothers who are pursuing their high school now.

Due to many reasons, I started working right after my SLC examination. I was working at Kanjirowa National School and also as an English tutor at various schools. It was the slogan of Teach For Nepal that attracted me and made me find the courage to apply for the fellowship. I have a passion for ending education inequity in Nepal and this is what drove me to leave my job and accept this fellowship.

I have been in the teaching field for the past six years but the experience as a fellow will be very rewarding and enriching.

My dream is to prove that teaching has more to do with learning than the infrastructure and resources of the school.
