About Irina Sthapit

As an Engineer, Educator, and Innovator, I am dedicated to leveraging technology and creativity to build solutions that make a positive impact. I earned my graduate degree from Stanford University in Learning, Design, and Technology, with a solid foundation in Electronics and Communication Engineering from an undergraduate degree in Nepal. Empowering Girls in STEM:My passion lies in fostering diversity in STEM fields, particularly empowering girls. I actively contribute to this cause through my organization Nepali Women+ in Computing and my Instagram initiative,@girlytoolz. Leadership and Recognition:I am honored to have been selected as the LeadEx fellow for The Asia Foundation Development Fellowship in 2022. Representing Nepal in the International Visitors Leadership Program (IVLP) on \'Hidden No More: Empowering Women Leaders in STEM\' by the U.S. State Department has been a highlight of my commitment to breaking gender barriers. Additionally, I proudly served as a Youth Leader from Nepal in the fifth United Nations Conference on Least Developed Countries. Social Impact Entrepreneurship:Co-founding Aji’s, a social enterprise, is a testament to my commitment to social impact. At Aji’s, we empower the elderly to lead healthy and happy lives by providing a platform to showcase their skills and knowledge. It\'s not just a venture; it\'s a mission to make a meaningful difference.
