What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead international mobility, student admissions, or global partnership initiatives where I can build institutional relationships, support diverse student cohorts, and strengthen cross-border education programs.

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.
