Founder / CEO

I lead the vision and strategy for Himalayan Blends, making sure every product tells a meaningful story — from sourcing to storytelling. I work closely with our team to build a brand rooted in purpose, purity, and heritage.

"If my role were a drink, it would be a single-origin pour-over coffee — rare, intentional, and rooted in purpose. Like my role, it brings out the best of where it comes from and connects people through craft and story."

Sales & Partnership Representative

I connect Himalayan Blends to the marketplace and introduce them into communities where Nepalese coffee and tea is still being discovered.

"I would sip my cup of temperature-critical coffee, 24 grams of medium-grind coffee steeped at 195°F for 3 minutes for an exceptional start of time."

I help plan and come up with content ideas, as well as figure out how to improve current content ideas. I also help improve our socials and along with the rest of the marketing team think of ways to improve it.
