Education: Double Master's of Social Science and Business Administration, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh

The best memory from my childhood is of learning together with five of my best friends has been the best memories of my childhood. For me, English and maths were the grueling subjects but the support that my friends provided helped me in achieving success in my SLC.

After higher education, I joined RR Multiple Campus in Janakpur for my Bachelors’ in Business Studies and later got a scholarship to study in the University of Dhaka for Masters Program. The transition from Nepali education to a foreign education system was difficult at first, but I took the challenge as an opportunity to learn about my own strength and barriers.

Coming from a public school education background, I wanted to change the perception about public school. Teach For Nepal’s work in public school and how their Fellows are creating small changes in the community inspired me to join the movement.

I believe my education and ethnic background would help me become a role-model to children in Dhanusa. During my Fellowship, I want to inspire students through hard work. Outside the classroom, I want to combat deep-rooted social restrictions, taboos and social perceptions to bring changes in the community. I believe that the Fellowship will help me learn more about diverse cultures of Nepal. It will help build leadership skill that will pave a path for me to serve as a public officer in the future. Also, I could be an inspiration to my five-year-old daughter.
