About the Teacher

Welcome to second grade! I am delighted to be your child's teacher this year.

I grew up in Nepal and I went to Boston College for my masters in education degree. I am certified to teach kindergarten through 6th grade and I have an additional certification in ESL. I have lived in Boston and Toronto before moving to Austin 13 years ago. I have worked in the education sector for more than 20 years in Nepal, Canada and the US.

My husband Sirish and I have been married for 21 years. We have two wonderful boys Nirvik and Nirwan. Nirvik will be a junior at Westwood High School and Nirwan will be an 8th grader at Canyon Vista Middle School. We also have an adorable dog named Evie. I love traveling, hiking and spending time with my friends and family.

I strive to create an environment where the students will explore, play, learn and grow.  In our classroom community each student's uniqueness will be celebrated and diversity will be our strength. My goal is to help the students reach their maximum potential and be lifelong learners. I am looking forward to having a fantastic year full of growth and discovery.
