Meet our scholars

I was born in Nepal, and came to Australia by myself to study Computer Science, a journey that shaped my career and worldview. While education opened many doors, like for many others, starting life in a new country also showed me how isolating and confusing unfamiliar systems can be when you have no safety net. That experience shaped my purpose. Today, I work at the intersection of data, technology, and community and my goal is to build solutions that help people find clarity, confidence, and belonging sooner. I am driven by turning my lived experience into solutions that reduce barriers and create fairer pathways to participation. Outside of work, my interests include hiking, running, volunteering, photography, and exploring new places.
