At Sunrise Education Consultants, Khadija Akter works as a Student Counselor, helping Bangladeshi students figure out where and how to pursue their education abroad. She's been in the role for a year now, and in that time has developed a practical, no-nonsense approach to counseling: understand the student first, then find the university that actually fits.
Much of her work involves sitting down with students to talk through their academic history, budget, and the countries they're considering, before narrowing down realistic options. From there, she walks them through what each application needs- transcripts, statements of purpose, recommendation letters- and keeps things on track so nothing gets missed along the way.
Khadija is particularly attentive to students who feel overwhelmed by the process, taking extra time to break things down step by step rather than rushing through checklists. Parents, too, often turn to her with questions about costs, timelines, and what to expect once their child is abroad.
She continues to grow her expertise at Sunrise Education Consultants, with a steady focus on making the study-abroad journey feel less intimidating for the students she works with.
