Like a lot of my students, I moved to London as an adult to broaden my horizon. Originally from Liverpool, London has been an exciting adventure and a great move for my career. The sheer diversity of London has been a wonderful departure from my bubble and is one of the reasons why I highly recommend students try living abroad at least once. I have studied abroad in South Korea myself, so I understand the importance of having someone help you navigate through process, so you can best enjoy your international experience.

Completing an application is one thing, but what happens next? How do you apply for housing, scholarships, possibly a visa? What do you need to consider when studying abroad? Don't worry, I'm here to help you take it step-by-step and anytime you need me, I'll only be a call or an email away!
