Michelle's professional journey began in a unique fashion, as a Human Resources Executive for Carnival Cruise Lines immediately after completing her university studies. This role allowed her to combine her career with her passion for international travel, taking her to incredible destinations and immersing her in diverse cultures. Michelle considers herself exceptionally fortunate to have had such enriching experiences. Her dedication to internationalization extends beyond her professional endeavors; it's a deeply personal passion. She believes in breaking down barriers to learning and providing unwavering support to students on their global journeys.
Michelle has a rich history of serving in various capacities at British Universities, both within the Public and Private sectors.
