I deliver impactful, inclusive, and data-informed policy advocacy.

I am Suraj Parajuli from Sindhupalchok, Nepal, and I am currently pursuing a Master of Global Affairs (MGA) at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, USA. Prior to my MGA, I earned a bachelor's degree in Health Care Management (BHCM) from Pokhara University and worked in public health research and policy advocacy in Nepal.

My work focuses on the intersection of public health, community engagement, and public accountability. My broader research interests center on understanding how inclusive and sustainable governance systems can promote healthier, more equitable communities. I am particularly interested in bridging the gap between public policy and the lived realities of disadvantaged populations. Guided by the value of paying it forward, I actively engage in community service and mentor students in Nepal.
