@carollin
I guide students through global admissions, visas, and long-term academic pathways.
What I'm looking for
I've guided students pursuing international high school, undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral admissions for more than 12 years. Through my Think Beyond Education approach, I help students build academic and professional profiles that support long-term growth.
At Cialfo, I supported students through Direct Apply, college applications, visa applications, and enrollment while collaborating with product and engineering teams to improve the platform and CRM system. I have also led application-service teams at New Oriental and OZ Global Education, strengthening workflows, service quality, and student support.
Today, I provide end-to-end strategic admissions support through Fuzhou Great Way Digital Technology Co Ltd. I believe education is only the beginning, and I help students cultivate independence, creativity, integrity, and meaningful contributions to society.
