Education: Bachelor of Science, Patan Multiple Campus, Tribhuvan University

With five years of teaching experience in both public schools and as an educator in an International Baccalaureate (IB) school, I’ve come to realize that the impact of teaching goes far beyond academic content. While working in an IB school, I had access to well-resourced classrooms and structured pedagogy, but the depth of transformation I hoped to see in my students was limited. That experience made me reflect deeply on where I could truly make a difference. Despite the resources of the institution, I felt disconnected from the communities that needed education the most.

Coming from Roshi, Kavrepalanchok, where I’m the only one from my village to have completed a bachelor’s degree, I’ve seen firsthand how access to quality education can be life-changing. My roots constantly remind me of the children who still don’t have the same opportunities I did. Teach For Nepal’s mission to bring educational equity to all students deeply resonated with me. Through the fellowship, I know I may not be able to solve every issue, but even if I can bring small changes to the lives of a few children, that would be meaningful.
