What inspired you to travel abroad?
I was a student, and they took a chance on me to help manage the operations. I love education, and I was fascinated by the way that SHG educates students and involves practical experience in a degree. I also agree with their motto for excellence, and a personalized learning experience which helps students graduate, not only with work experience and a degree, but also with soft skills to be able to connect interculturally.
