01 / About me
My journey so far.
I studied civil engineering, worked in Texas and returned to Nepal to build projects in education, technology and tourism.
Through Baakhapaa, Skill Sikka, HillyChilly and Future Builders, I have been exploring ways to connect learning with practical opportunities. As I prepare for public service in Palungtar, I want to bring that experience into conversations about employment, education and the services people depend on every day.
