I was born and raised in Kathmandu, Nepal, and have spent much of my life moving between places that have shaped how I see the world. At sixteen, I left home to complete high school in Duino, a small village in Northern Italy—a formative experience that taught me independence and adaptability early on.

I later attended Lake Forest College outside Chicago, where I studied Business and Communication with a focus on Marketing. It was there that my interest in storytelling, branding, and public relations began to take shape. After graduating, I worked in sales at a media and marketing company, where I developed resilience, learned how to navigate rejection, and gained a deeper understanding of how to connect ideas with people.

After my work visa ended, I returned to Kathmandu, experiencing the city in a new way as an adult. That transition reinforced how much my background continues to influence my perspective—balancing global exposure with a strong connection to home.

I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Public Relations and Advertising at USC. My work is driven by an interest in culture, storytelling, and building ideas that feel both strategic and meaningful.

With big goals and a drive to grow within the PR industry, I aspire to work with brands like Fenty—brands that don’t just market products, but shape culture. Their impact is what pushed me to pursue further education, with the goal of creating campaigns and building brands that resonate with people in meaningful, everyday ways.
