At The End of The Day with Anuz Thapa & Dipika Shrestha

Listen to Software Engineer Rama Shah, from Nepal, walk us through her inspiring story of making her career in the US.

When she was doing her undergraduate studies, there was a time when she was working up to as many as 60 hours a week to pay her rent and the school fee.

Until she was able to set the foot in her software engineering career, she was waitressing for her survival.

By the way, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rama were working together waiting tables and bartending at The Coffee Shop in New York City. (Aside from its food, this shop was popular for having aspiring models, actresses and artists waitressing.)

Rama can be contacted at [email protected].
