སློབ་སྦྱོང་ཡག་པོ་གནང་ན་ལས་ཀ་གང་ཡང་བྱེད་ཐུབ་ཀྱི་རེད་དེ་འདྲ་སོང་ཙམ་སློབ་ཕྲུག་རྣམས་ནས་གང་ཐུབ་ཅི་ཐུབ་ཐོག་ནས་སློབ་སྦྱོང་ལ་འབད་བརྩོན་དང་དམིགས་དཔེ་ཡར་བལྟ་གནང་རོགས།

Having the opportunity to work in one of the largest aerospace industry in the world is something that I have viewed as a form of hard work paid off.  Working along with the brightest minds of this generation in creating the future of aerospace technology is something that I have never imagined, yet that’s what I do on daily basis.  I take great pride in being able to represent Tibet among the existing diversity of talent and background in this field.

The journey thus far has not been without a struggle. Being away from family and community at young age as well as lack of proper guidance and mentorship throughout my pursuit of higher education has been some of the setbacks. However, His Holiness’s emphasis on importance of education for Tibet’s future and my parent’s background motivated me to keep going and made me capable of seizing opportunities leading to the place I am today. I hope the struggles yet to come in life will continue to make me stronger and more confident.

I look forward to the day when Tibetans represent and excel in diverse group of [professionals]. I believe that journey has just begun."
