A little bit about me
Namaste everyone, my name is Namira Shrestha. I’m from the beautiful country of Nepal (not from the mountains) and currently pursuing my MSc in Applied Project Management at the University of West London. Prior to this, I completed my BSc in Information Technology Management for Business at the UWL.
I’m keen about creating a positive and impactful student experience. Where, you’ll often see me around campus connecting with students, societies, sharing ideas, or participating in events that bring people together. I love interacting with different perspectives and cultures, which has made my journey at UWL truly meaningful.
