Summary

I excel at building strong relationships with key decision-makers and mapping requirements to the right solutions. I’m adept at organising training programmes, managing student enrolment, and tracking progress to ensure seamless delivery of educational services. A dynamic and adaptable professional, I thrive in fast-paced, multicultural environments, balancing multiple tasks while maintaining exceptional service. My work philosophy is inspired by Super Mario—working smart and hard to help customers achieve their goals. Outside of work, I’m a full-time tantrum negotiator for my 4-year-old son and a Dr Dolittle to my 8-year-old pug.
