I am eager to join Catalyst 2030 & collaborate with fellow social innovators committed to achieving the SDGs. With 13 years of experience in education, I can contribute valuable insights from Canopy to enhance educational access for underprivileged students. I aim to learn global best practices & policy advocacy to scale our impact & catalyze systemic change in Nepal. Moreover, I hope to get partnerships & guidance within the community to ensure every child in Nepal receives a quality education.
