I have over 12 years of dedicated experience working and supporting international students, ensuring they have a valuable life experience whilst in my care. My expertise lies within the profile matching field, understanding the needs and aspirations of young people and matching them with high quality work experience and internship programmes. This is aligned with my commitment to providing each young person with the mentoring they need to thrive.  I have managed high-quality host family accommodation to ensure a safe and nurturing environment for young people to feel comfortable and secure. I have coordinated several European projects involving individuals to large groups of international students, thus enabling me to have the understanding of different cultures and needs for young people.
