Education: Bachelor of Technology in Food Tech, Central Campus, Tribhuvan University, Nepal

Before joining Teach For Nepal, I worked professionally for five years and the fact that I chose to apply for Fellowship was an opportunity to develop skills for my career development. My education journey has been quite interesting. I was raised in an average middle-class family and it was our parents always put education as a priority in our lives, as a result, I and my sister were the first in our family to attend private school. My father only attended school until third grade, which meant that he had limited career opportunities in life. He knew the value of education and always emphasized that we received the kind of education that he never did. I face various problems during my school years, I was never able to attain grades that were more than 33 and even when I was studying on my own, I was reading English and Nepali out loud without even knowing what I was actually studying. If it wasn’t for my teachers, school and my family I wouldn’t have been able to get the grades I needed to study science stream to pursue Bachelor’s degree in Food Technology from Central Campus of Technology, Dharan. Throughout this Fellowship, I see myself becoming like the teachers that helped me during my school days. I want to use my professional experience and my education in food technology to teach children as well as get new experience to develop myself to further my personal development.
