My work

My work sits at the intersection of youth, education, social innovation and human development.

I design and facilitate experiences that encourage people to question assumptions, develop capabilities and move from observing problems to exploring possibilities.

The part that actually matters happens at the tables, not at the front.

Youth & Education

Creating learning experiences that help young people develop the capabilities needed to navigate an uncertain future.

  • Youth development
  • Entrepreneurial education
  • 21st century skills
  • Experiential learning
  • Career exploration
  • Youth leadership

Design Thinking & Social Innovation

Helping young people and organisations approach challenges differently.

The goal isn’t simply to generate ideas. It is to help people develop the confidence to engage with problems.

How the process runs

  1. Empathy
  2. Understanding
  3. Reframing
  4. Ideating
  5. Experimenting
  6. Learning

Facilitation

I enjoy creating spaces where people feel comfortable enough to participate, question, reflect and contribute.

The audience may be 10 people or 1,000. The setting may be a rural school in Nepal or a room in a major city.

The principle remains the same.

Make people feel heard.

Speaking & Storytelling

I share stories from my own journey around:

  • Possibility
  • Youth
  • Education
  • Purpose
  • Resilience
  • Leadership
  • Human connection
  • Navigating uncertainty

I don’t speak as someone who has figured everything out.

I speak as someone who is still figuring it out.

Building spaces for young people to explore possibilities.

Through Youth Hive Nepal, where I am Partnership Manager, I work with young people to develop the mindset, skills and confidence to become active problem solvers.

The numbers tell us where we have been. The stories tell us why it matters.

Our core belief

We don’t want young people to see themselves only as people who need to find solutions created by others. We want them to see themselves as people capable of creating solutions themselves.
