Bio:
I was born and raised in Kathmandu, Nepal. I lived in Kathmandu for 18 years before coming to United States for the undergraduate program in Vassar College. I majored in Physics and Economics. I had a lot of fun at Vassar. I spent my junior year at Dartmouth College, as part of an engineering exchange program. After finishing at Vassar, I went back to Dartmouth to finish up my engineering degree and ended up getting a Masters in Engineering Management in June 2009. I am planning to join a PhD program in economics soon. But before that, I want to volunteer for Kiva and travel around the globe. I have been placed as a Kiva fellow in Philippines. I am soo excited!
