"My name is Olivier and I am the US Student Enrollment Manager. I am originally from France but have lived in the United States for many years now. I came to California during my College years (my major was in Advertising & Communications) as an exchange student in Berkeley to study English. Today, I am here to help you go to University in America!

The large number of American universities and programs can be a confusing choice for international students. I know it can be very difficult to make the right decision without expert guidance and support. Whether you need advice or are ready to apply for a degree, our international team will help you every step of the way. We can confirm your University acceptance decision within weeks – much faster than the traditional process of US University admission. Our service also includes support and help with your student visa application.

 I speak French and English fluently, and have an understanding of Spanish. I look forward to helping you before and after your arrival in the US."

"Hello! I was born and raised on Guam, a small island in Micronesia (also a territory of the United States), with my ancestry coming from the Philippines. I moved to the US mainland to attend university and received a bachelor's degree in Biology. After receiving my bachelor’s degree, I decided to live and study abroad for a year and landed in the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, in Toledo, Spain. It was there where I gained my first experience living abroad and realized what an amazing opportunity it was not only to learn about another culture and become fluent in another language but also to meet people from different countries. After my year in Spain, I pursued a master's degree in International Policy Studies with language specializations in Japanese and Spanish.

I have been involved with international student exchange organizations for 20 years, where I have had a unique opportunity not only to travel to over 20 countries, but also to meet students from around the world. Through living and traveling abroad, I am able to bring my experience to help you with your decision to come to the USA and embark on your academic studies."

"Hi, my name is Sheryl. I come from India and I live in New Delhi, the capital. I have been working in this field of Education Management for the past three years and love being able to guide aspiring students in choosing a good program and University to pursue their Higher Education abroad. Nothing is more comforting to a student full of questions, than knowing that there is someone who can guide you to the right direction, answer all your queries and help you to choose the right University. Studying abroad opens up so many opportunities for one to learn, grow as an individual, and meet different kinds of new people.

Currently, I am studying for a Master's in English. I have a flair for creativity and writing skills and languages as well. Languages that I speak are English, Hindi, Spanish and Bengali. I also have a good understanding of two other Indian regional languages: Kannada and Oriya.

I would be more than happy to help and guide you in this process; one of the most important phases of life – Education. I look forward to hearing from you!"

“Hi there, I’m Anders. I was born and raised in Sweden, but moved to the United States to pursue a Bachelor degree, majoring in Business Administration. The transition, adapting to life and academic studies in a new culture, was challenging yet very interesting and it has helped me to grow as a person and launch a great professional career.

Currently, I am taking great pleasure in counseling students with the ambitions of becoming an international student in the U.S. I help students from Scandinavia, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines. As well as English, I speak Swedish and Norwegian fluently, and understand Danish.

I have gained a high cultural awareness from traveling around the world. I am hoping that my experience, sharing the background of an international student, will enable me to realize your dream of going to University in America.”
