What I'm looking for

I am seeking leadership roles where I can build strategic international partnerships, grow recruitment pipelines, design workforce-aligned programs, and scale credentialing in a collaborative, impact-driven environment.

I am a multifaceted and accountable senior manager with extensive experience developing and leading global academic partnerships, international student recruitment, and workforce development programs. I have a proven track record increasing international student applications by 600%, establishing strategic partnerships with 25 higher education institutions, and launching numerous professional development programs and regional offices.

I specialize in business development, program articulation, and scalable credentialing—having developed 15 new professional development programs, opened three regional offices, and generated over €1 million turnover on strategic projects. I bring strong leadership, data-driven decision making, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver measurable growth and excellent student and employer outcomes.
