About Astha T.

Award-winning, equity-centered leader with 15+ years of experience. My career spans around working with law enforcement and county governments, leading student government as Vice President, grassroots community advocacy from Nepal to the United States, higher education, campus ambassadorship, recruitment, enrollment, multicultural leadership, program facilitation, events planning, and student life. At every stage, my central focus has been access and belonging.I am an honoree of the International Excellence Award, a global recognition for student leader excellence. The privilege of this award gave me the opportunity to pursue a fully funded educational journey abroad, shaping not just my career but my perspective on what education can and should be. My educational background spans Computer Science, Women & Gender Studies, the Global Awareness Program, Leadership Enhancement, Liberal Arts, and General Science. I am deeply committed to making education accessible to all, like it has been life-changing for me. I was also an award-winning scholar in Nepal, nationally recognized for academic excellence, and felicitated by the then Prime Minister, Dr. Baburam Bhattarai, at a young age.So good to have you here. Amid the world of rushed outcomes, I value deep human connection, community, and care. Outside of work, I read, write, and find joy in music (Lady Gaga always). Above all, I believe in presence. You are seen here.<3
