What does international education mean for you?
As a recipient of international education myself, I value the experience it provided me — the ability to navigate different cultures, think beyond borders, and approach challenges with a global awareness. To me, international education is not only about academic learning, but also about cultivating adaptability, empathy, and collaboration across diverse communities. It has shaped the way I connect with people, make decisions, and contribute meaningfully in both professional and personal contexts.

What is one of the most satisfying professional outcomes you’ve achieved?
There’s a deep sense of fulfillment that comes from seeing team members develop new skills, step into bigger responsibilities, and gain confidence over time. I take pride in knowing that my support—whether through mentorship, coaching, or simply creating the right environment—has contributed to their journey. It’s incredibly rewarding to see someone evolve from where they started to where they are now, and to know I’ve played even a small part in unlocking their potential.

What is your favorite book or movie?
When it comes to books, I enjoy those written by Jeffrey Archer. His storytelling is captivating, full of twists and turns that keep me guessing until the very end. I appreciate how his novels challenge my expectations and remind me that life, much like his stories, can be unpredictable and full of surprises.

What is your dream travel destination? Why?
I would love to visit Petra, Jordan, one day. I’m fascinated by its history, architecture, and the sense of mystery it carries.

What is your favorite food to eat with friends?
What matters most to me is the company. Any meal becomes enjoyable when it’s shared with friends.

What was your favorite subject at high school or university?
No surprises here, I fell in love with Accounting when I first took it at high school. What began as a curiosity about numbers grew into a genuine passion for understanding how businesses operate, make decisions, and create value. I enjoyed the clarity and structure it brought, but also the way it revealed the bigger picture behind every organization. That early spark has stayed with me and continues to shape my career path today.
