Education: Bachelor's of Business Administration, Kathmandu University, Nepal

My family migrated from Tibet to Taplejung in the Far Eastern Development Region and later moved to Kathmandu in search of a better life in 1994. I spent most of my life inside a boarding school with four of my close friends. During school years, I actively participated in basketball and balanced my love for the sports with my studies.

After completing School Leaving Certificate (S.L.C.) I joined United Academy. During my +2, I had to shift my focus more towards studies rather than basketball because of the school’s rigorous course work. And finally, after finishing my higher secondary, I joined Kathmandu University School of Management (KUSOM) for my Bachelor’s in Business Administration. While studying in KUSOM, I was able to pursue my passion for sports as well as balance my studies.

My hard work and dedication helped me become a part of the National Netball Team of Nepal which led me to an opportunity to attend Australian Netball Coaching and Leadership training. After graduating from college, I was in the process of going abroad for further studies and was attending Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) classes, but deep down in my heart, it was not what I desired. I wanted to explore every corner of Nepal and one night while surfing the net, I came across Teach For Nepal.

Teach For Nepal was a great program that offered an opportunity to travel to rural places and help communities by sharing your education. It was an opportunity for me to put my education and my passion to a good use. In Fellowship, I can use my education in Business Administration and my love for sports to teach students in an interactive way. I can help them become more active and also motivate them to chase their dreams.

Hopefully, I will gain an ample amount of experience through Fellowship which I want to put to use in my future work to contribute towards the development of our country.
