Education: B.B.A., Liberty College, Pokhara University, Nepal

Until high school I attended public schools and this experience made me realize the plight of these schools and the sufferings of the students. I completed my Bachelors at a private institution after being provided a scholarship. I used to work but this fellowship pulled me away since I think this experience will pave my way towards creating a bright future for my country.

My friend was the person who told me about this fellowship and after searching online I applied for it. There were moments of confusion because when I was offered the fellowship, I was also offered a job that would pay me double.

However, I decided to accept this fellowship because I believe that investment in education will not only contribute towards my country but also help me in my long-term career growth.

During this fellowship, I am enthusiastic to learn about the community and teach children while in return gaining life experience in rural Nepal. My fellowship goals are to increase academic achievement and to change students' behaviors and learning patterns.
