Bio
Sunita Nepali is from Madhyanepal, Rambazar, Lamjung, and is a graduate of Shree Kushumakar Secondary School. Her determination and willingness to improve have motivated her to continue developing her strengths. Reflecting on how communities can affect people’s lives, both positively and negatively, inspired her to pursue studies in humanities and law.
The Nirmala Panta case and other important social issues in Nepal made Sunita recognize her responsibility to take action and motivated her to study law. She became the first Samaanta Fellow to pursue law. While studying in Grade 11, she applied for a United World Colleges (UWC) scholarship and was selected to pursue the IB Diploma at UWC Red Cross Nordic in Norway.
Sunita is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree at Whitman College, double majoring in Economics and Politics. She is also involved in research projects in both fields, gaining practical experience and a deeper understanding of how politics and economics intersect in real life.
