I guide students from first conversation to university acceptance covering admissions, visa documentation, and life-changing study abroad decisions across four continents. Counsellor by calling. Engineer by training.
Where a technical mind meets a passion for transforming student futures across the globe.
I'm a Computer Science & Engineering graduate who discovered that the most meaningful algorithms are the ones that match the right student to the right university. What started as technical curiosity became a mission: helping students navigate the complex world of international education with clarity, confidence, and care.
At Connect Japan, I manage every stage of the student journey from the first counselling session through to visa approval and pre-departure readiness. My CSE background gives me a genuine edge: I use data-driven strategy and systems thinking to amplify the deeply personal work of student advising.
I'm actively seeking roles with UK, Australian, New Zealand, or Japanese institutions where expert counselling meets measurable admissions impact.
