Hello! My name is Unisha Rayamajhi, and I am an international student from Nepal in my second semester at Santa Rosa Junior College. I am majoring in Psychology with the goal of becoming a psychologist in the future. My dream is to help others better understand themselves, overcome challenges, and build healthier lives.


Outside of academics, I love spending time outdoors, especially hiking, which gives me both peace and adventure. I also enjoy reading, listening to music, and connecting with new people—activities that allow me to learn from different perspectives and cultures while balancing my studies with creativity and relaxation.


Studying abroad has taught me resilience, independence, and the importance of community. While the journey comes with challenges, I believe every step is shaping me into a stronger and more compassionate person. One quote that inspires me is: “Out of difficulties grow miracles.”
