It is my dream to not only support myself, but to help other Nepali refugees learn English. In Nepal, I graduated from college with a degree in Humanities. Since arriving in the United States, I have enrolled in several ESL programs and have worked to help others learn English as well. I came to Deseret Industries to improve my conversational skills while helping to support my family.

Deseret Industries teaches us to be self-determined and accountable for our own self-reliance. We lift ourselves and others by the choices we make and the goals we pursue. My experience at DI has helped me set the goals and commit to the action steps which will bring a great future. One of my goals was to become a dental assistant. I graduated at the top of my class from a dental assistant program sponsored through a community resource. I was then hired by one of the dentists who taught at the school. I next want to earn enough money so I can return to college and earn a degree in accounting.

I have enjoyed and appreciated my experience at Deseret Industries, where I have had not only the opportunity to focus on my own future, but share with others the DI way for becoming self-sufficient.
