About Me

Throughout my professional journey, I have worked extensively with students aged 11-18 to identify and achieve their aspirations. At my current school, SCIE, my role involves 1:1 tailored university counselling with senior students through competitive university applications worldwide. 70% of our students apply to the UK through UCAS, and about a third of them apply to the US, as well as other popular destinations. Additionally, my background in career counselling equips me to organise and enhance events like internships, workshops, university visits, alumni talk, and career fairs, broadening students’ career exposure. I emphasise fostering intrinsic motivation, inspiring students to pursue knowledge driven by curiosity rather than external rewards. My passion lies in empowering young people to explore their interests, build skills, and confidently shape their futures in our interconnected world.
