Job title: 
Undergraduate Researcher
Department: 
BIMI Team
Bio/CV: 

I was born and raised in a small village in Nepal. I am a first-generation college student. I have a diploma in Civil Engineering from Tribhuvan University, Nepal. I am a third-year transfer student and currently pursuing a Bachelor of Architecture degree at UC Berkeley. My dream is to become an American architect. I desire to participate in projects focusing on social justice, equity, and access to quality spaces and services in underserved and under-resourced communities.

My research interests include undocumented students and their daily life in college and outside the college by looking through and analyzing their history and experience. I hope this research will serve future undocumented students in college and beyond as a more accessible pathway and an ultimate guide for achieving their American dream.
