Riya Shrestha

I am a Master's student in Computer Science at the University of Victoria focusing on community-engaged learning and technology for social impact.

My journey in this field began through the 2023 INSPIRE Nepal program, where I worked closely with community partners to build practical, meaningful software solutions.

My research now examines how experiential learning shapes student development and how global collaboration supports socially responsible technology design.
