Education: B.Sc. (Electrical Engineering), Minnesota State University, Mankato, Minnesota, USA

Since childhood, I wanted to study engineering in order to build things that would make life easier. I accomplished this by attending a good school. During the course of my study, I was interested in the organization “Engineers Without Borders” where engineers like me would travel around the world to rural communities and help build basic infrastructure.

While studying in the US, I worked at different places earning minimum wage. I realized life is not a ‘bed of roses’ for people working in labor jobs. When I came across Teach for Nepal, I found graduates like me helping to eradicate education inequity in Nepal.

This is the perfect platform to me since I would not only help children learn but also be in the community and participate in an exchange of teaching and learning.

After the fellowship I plan on travelling throughout rural Nepal to help build basic infrastructure. It will also help me to build leadership skills and understand people’s lives.
