Helping people understand and be understood

🙏 Welcome!

I’m a Jhapa (🇳🇵)-based clinician and researcher passionate about human language processing and its disorders.

As a clinician, I help individuals with speech and language difficulties understand and communicate effectively. As a scientist, I explore evidence-based practices to understand how we comprehend spoken language, even in challenging situations. Beyond language, my research interests extend to anthropogenic climate change.

Throughout my career, I’ve thrived as a researcher, data analyst, program manager, writer, editor, curriculum developer, and clinician. My diverse projects range from multilingualism, language processing, and neurodiversity in autism to the effects of COVID-19 on mental health and computational climate modelling.
