Background:
I was born in Katmandu, Nepal and adopted
at three months. Since then, I have lived
exclusively in Colorado. I grew up in
Berthoud and attended schools in the
Thompson Valley School District. After
graduating in 2011, I went to Front Range
Community College and got my Associates
Degree of Art, then transferred to CSU. I am
an English Education Major, excited to
teach!

Experience:
Since 14, I volunteered for various teachers
throughout the Berthoud schools. I assisted
in the health class dissections at Turner
Middle, I was a teachers assistant for
several teachers at Ivy Stockwell, and I
participated in the Berthoud tutoring
program. I also volunteered at Apple Leaf
Assisted Living Center, and did crafts/
activities with elderly. Most recently, I was
hired by Young Rembrandts to teach an
after school art class for students K-5 at
Dunn Elementary School here in Fort
Collins. I also am part of a Adolescent
Literature library internship through CSU.

Why Teaching?
My father was a teacher for over 33
years, and growing up I always
witnessed his passion for his job.
After his sudden death, I poured
myself into school. I realized that I
loved English, and through my
writing I survived. I found my voice
with the love and support of my
amazing family and teachers. When
I got to college, I discovered that I
wanted to teach. I want to give my
students an outlet to voice their
own creativity and their passions.

Philosophy:
After having the opportunity of working
with a variety of students and a variety of
age groups, I have come to understand the
importance of student choice. I want to
integrate multimedia learning and literacy
through creative, hands-on projects and
activities. I want my students to have some
say in what direction their learning is going,
and have fun in the process. Despite
contrary opinions, education and learning
can be relevant and exciting, and I want my
students to realize the change they can
make even as adolescents.

Interesting Facts:
In my spare time, I love to read,
write, and spend time with my
family. I am a singer/songwriter
and occasionally do open mics. I
also compete in Slam Poetry
competitions in Fort Collins. My
first time competing I actually won,
which was really exciting. Other
than this, I am a huge science
fiction nerd. I love Star Trek and
Doctor Who!
