Summary

I began my career at Shakil Education Group in October 2022 as a Student Counselor, where I provided guidance to prospective students on choosing suitable study destinations and academic programs. Shortly after, I transitioned into the role of Admissions Officer and Executive, where I was responsible for preparing Statements of Purpose (SOPs), crafting CVs, managing university applications, and conducting mock interviews.

As I gained experience, I specialized in student visa application processing and eventually took on the role of Visa Application Team Lead, overseeing applications for key destinations such as the USA, UK, Denmark, Hungary, and partially Malaysia. Alongside this, I received advanced training in university application processing and compliance for countries including Australia, Canada, and Germany.

With a commitment to supporting students in achieving their educational and professional goals, I continuously strive to enhance my expertise and provide personalized, strategic guidance throughout their international education journey.
