Study in Canada Scholarships Awardee

“The most important thing for me was the hospitality and support from my professor. The environment was so inclusive that I never felt that I was away from home. Furthermore, the ocean, snow and the appealing beauty of British Columbia remains on my mind. The research and interaction among the students around the world, and the Christmas and New Year celebrations with people of diverse cultures was a uniquely wonderful experience. The learning opportunity, trainings and continuous guidance from my professor and the university was unforgettable. After returning to Nepal, I have started my career in the climate and energy efficiency sector by founding a start-up company. At present, I am the Technical Director of that company. I want to thank my professor, SFU and the Canadian government for this opportunity which gave me the strength and confidence to take such a challenging role.”
