“My mission is to equip students with the business knowledge and practical skills they need to build successful, fulfilling careers. By integrating real-world simulations and interactive learning, I aim to make lessons engaging, relevant, and impactful—helping every student develop confidence and direction in their professional journey.”

Tell our students a bit about yourself and your commitment to transforming students lives?

With a background in Automotive Engineering and a Master’s in Marketing and Management, I bring both industry insight and academic expertise. Having lived in several countries and speaking multiple languages, I understand the challenges of adaptation—and I’m committed to helping students thrive personally and professionally in a global environment.

What influenced your decision to become a member of BSMI?

I was drawn to BSMI’s mission to empower international students with the skills and confidence to succeed in English-speaking academic and business environments. The college’s commitment to practical learning and global development aligns perfectly with my own values of education, opportunity, and lifelong personal growth.

What do we do best at BSMI?

Through personalised support, academic excellence, and practical skill-building, BSMI helps students adapt, achieve, and succeed—bridging cultural and educational gaps to unlock their full potential in global business.
