Sanumaya Lama

Bio

Sanu Maya and she comes from Lalitpur, where her family of five is living in temporary shelter. Her mother works at an ice cream factory, her father is working in Saudi Arabia, dai is a driver, and bhauju is a teacher at Jyotidaya Cooperative School, where she completed her SEE from. She completed her +2 in Management from Pentagon International College and completed her BBA at King’s College.
She remembers the process of being selected for Samaanta very well. She had just left her house to go to her local college to know about the scholarships to study there. On the way home, she received a call from Samaanta and got to know she received the fellowship.
She is very passionate about technology. When she was younger, she knew very little about technology. In school, they had books to teach them about computers but they rarely saw computer labs. In later years, her teachers would tell them to open Facebook accounts. Her parents thought it was a bad thing to use Facebook. After she joined Samaanta, she opened her first email account and learned how to use other services like Viber. She learned a lot about the importance and significance of technology in her first year as a Samaanta fellow.
Since her family only lives 1.5 hr away from Kathmandu, she wasn’t very culture shocked when she moved here. But it was a bit difficult to be away from home. When she has free time, she looks up tutorials on youtube and tries to learn new things. She also likes to teach herself dance and practice for quizzes and write poetry.
She is currently associated with Skill Lab, where she works in the field of talent acquisition. She is also pursuing her studies at Lincoln University College.
