In this study, we utilize the\u0000effective coupling of right-handed sterile neutrinos with SM gauge bosons to\u0000calculate the muon anomalous magnetic moment ($boldsymbol{mu}$AMM) at\u0000one-loop level. The contribution of the sterile neutrino interactions on the\u0000$boldsymbol{mu}$AMM is calculated by considering the standard and\u0000non-standard neutrino interactions.
