Summary

Director of College Admissions at BASIS Bilingual School Shenzhen. I am dedicated to increasing college access across borders so that students of all backgrounds may attend higher education institutions that match their strengths and goals. A higher education degree equips students with transferrable skills to succeed in a rapidly-changing employment sector, instills greater analysis and independent thinking skills, and increases human capital development and self-worth. These traits are pivotal to ensure a more peaceful, happy, and cohesive society that in turn reduces crime, reduces xenophobia, and increases productivity and economic development. I seek to leverage my understanding of college admissions, effective writing and multiple language skills so young learners around the world may gain the priceless benefit of a global education that challenges them and inspires them to realize their potential and contribute to the world.
