Education: Bachelor of Arts/ Bachelor of Laws (BA LLB), National Law College, Nepal

Even when I was a child, I always said that if there is one career path that I will not follow, it is that of becoming a teacher! While I always respected my teachers, I saw how other students did not appreciate their hard work and diligence and I wanted a career in which everyone respected and recognised my work. However, in my second year of law school, we went on a residential tour and stayed in a village for five days. I must say, it was the first time I really saw Nepal. That experience made me want to learn more about my community, and be connected to the people and serve them who are less connected to my daily life. I realised that my teachers have always been the guides in my life. That being a teacher is the only way to change the vision and perception of the people towards change. And I realised that I too wanted to be a teacher, a mentor who can be a light in another’s life. I applied for Teach For Nepal without a second thought.
