Bio

I began my career in money management before transitioning into international higher education, where I found my passion for supporting students from diverse backgrounds and helping them navigate the challenges of studying abroad. Over the past five years, I have worked closely with aspiring students, including three years representing a UK university in India. Now at the University of Colorado Boulder, I look forward to helping students make a smooth transition into university life and begin their journey as part of the Buff community.

Best Part About Your Job

What I enjoy most about working in international education is the opportunity to connect with students from different regions, cultures, and ethnic backgrounds, each with their own dreams, aspirations, and stories. There is always something new to learn from the people I meet and the perspectives they bring. I find it equally rewarding to guide the students and be a part of their journey as they take important steps towards their goals and turn their ambitions into reality. For me, this field is meaningful because it allows me to make a difference in students’ lives while continuing to learn and grow alongside them.
