Summary
Growing up in a small village in Nepal, I dreamed of becoming an electrician. After high school, I pursued formal training, earning my electrician diploma from Onida Technical Training Institute. I gained hands-on experience in house wiring before joining Roshan Construction, where I worked my way up to Senior Electrician, leading a team and managing major projects. Moving to the U.S. For better opportunities, I now aim to become a licensed electrician by taking the certification test directly and gaining hands-on experience here in the United States of America.
