I build international mobility partnerships and guide students through global education journeys.
What I'm looking for
I've built international mobility programs and partnerships across Europe, Asia, and Latin America, supporting students from admissions through integration. At ICDE-India, I coordinated Erasmus+ and Weltwärts mobility and work-placement tracks for 150+ international participants while managing partnerships with 20+ international organizations.
More recently, I've advised 300+ students annually on study-abroad pathways at UNIABROAD, managed global partner networks at UNIPREP, and now lead end-to-end admissions and an admissions team at CliniLaunch Research Institute.
