About

Over 15 years of experience in higher education, starting from recruiting of Master of Science and later expanding into the Executive Division and customs program; I continued for several years in the field of academic consulting in the high school and Ivy League world, eventually becoming the coordinator of the entire Recruiting and Admission group for one of the most prestigious business schools in the world. These experiences have helped me develop my communication skills and promote the company's complete range of programs and products with enthusiasm to customers. My entrepreneurial mindset enables me to thrive and succeed in intensive, high-pressure environments. While being highly sales-oriented, I am also customer-focused, with a keen cultural awareness.
