What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue guiding students through education and career decisions while leading teams, strengthening admissions and counseling operations, and supporting growth in international education services.

I've guided students toward academic and career pathways, helping them identify best-fit programs and institutions in the UK, USA, Australia, South Cyprus, Georgia, Malaysia, and Thailand.

As Business Development Manager at Royal Consultants, I develop growth strategies, lead teams, manage projects and budgets, and deliver workshops, seminars, and training for students, educators, and institutions.

Previously, I managed branches at Prospects Consulting and HR Consultants, overseeing daily operations, staff recruitment and development, compliance, financial reporting, and relationships with students and parents.

My work combines student counseling, university admissions, visa processing, and practical branch leadership. I'm certified by ICEF, British Council, and MSM Unify.
