Supporting statement
Since graduating from the University of Plymouth with a degree in Environmental Science, I have pursued a career dedicated to impactful leadership and expanding educational opportunities, particularly in Nigeria. As Lead Counsellor and Office Administrator at Wellspring School Support System (WSSS), I manage branch operations and lead international recruitment initiatives, bringing global education pathways closer to Nigerian students. Through marketing strategies, education fairs, and direct engagement with students and parents, I have empowered many young people to pursue their academic dreams abroad.
My previous role as International Recruitment Manager at Schneider Institute involved guiding students through the complex processes of university applications, visas, and settlement in the UK. I ensured they were well-prepared and informed at every step, reflecting Plymouth’s values of inclusion and global perspective.
While at Plymouth, I served as a Student Ambassador, welcoming and supporting new international students. This experience shaped my skills as a mentor and advocate, qualities I now bring to my work at WSSS and beyond.
