I earned my bachelor's degree in Agricultural Science in 2018, specializing in Plant Breeding, from the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Sciences, Tribhuvan University. I did my internship for a few months in the wheat breeding unit of Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC) and learned about traditional breeding of varieties. I came to Oklahoma State University in 2019 and completed a master's degree in plant biology in Spring 2022, where my research focused on quantitative genetics of shattering, a domestication trait in pearl millet.
