Education: Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India

Growing up, I never faced any hardship. My parents made sure that I had every pleasure that life has to offer. I was never a bright student but still managed to complete my education in humanities from Pentagon International School. After school, I wanted to study law and joined Kathmandu School of Law but due to the financial instability of my parents, I decided to study sociology in Jamia Millia Islamia, a public university in New Delhi, India. When I applied for Teach For Nepal Fellowship, I didn’t have a concrete reason. I felt that it would be great to help others, but after meeting few of Alumni and listening to their Fellowship experience a fire inside me started burning. During a visit to one of the schools where Teach For Nepal Alumni is a school leader, I saw a spark in his eyes whenever he spoke about his students, a spark I had never seen in my life. He made me believe that the education system in Nepal can change and it has to be the youth who have to step up to bring changes they wish to see in their own country.
