When Sabhyata Jha was a teenager, a catastrophic earthquake devastated parts of her native Nepal. The April 15, 2015, Gorkha quake killed almost 9,000 people and damaged or destroyed more than 600,000 structures. Jha, now a data science major at Duke Kunshan University, was lucky, she says. Her family survived and their house remained standing. Still, hundreds of aftershocks – some lethally powerful – disrupted her 10th grade year and changed thousands of lives throughout her Himalayan homeland.
