About

Academics and EduTravel ignite my passion. With over 7 years of experience as a seasoned researcher in Politics, I thrive on producing cutting-edge literature. My journey in International Student Recruitment has been built from the ground up. Starting as a B2C client service officer (CSO), I honed my skills into an expert admission and conversion officer, ultimately rising to the role of a visa advisory consultant. Now, I find myself halfway up the career ladder at KC Overseas, where I wear many hats as a subject matter expert, sales personnel, business developer, and regional representative. I take pride in assisting partners and facilitating international student recruitment efforts and B2B sales while making a significant impact in the African market with our edtech platform, coursefinder.ai. Explore my journey; I'm eager for new opportunities!
