  • Though she shies away from the limelight, Jan is the brains and the founder of The Global Student. She will reluctantly admit that she has over two decades of experience in the Australian higher education sector, spending the last 15 years in and around Asia.

    Her passion has always been global student mobility and that has led to her launching The Global Student from Kuala Lumpur, which she has been calling home for the last 16 years. Not bad for a girl from the quiet suburbs of Melbourne!

  • As TGS Program Manager, Teena is an invaluable asset as she is able to quickly navigate the intricacies of the local landscape, both professionally and personally. She is able to leverage her in-depth knowledge and understanding of the local culture, customs, and regulations, while also having the ability to build relationships and trust with her colleagues, and program participants.

    Furthermore, Teena has a natural flair for problem-solving and anticipating issues before they occur. She is able to provide creative solutions to any challenge that may arise, ensuring that the program runs as smoothly and successfully as possible.

    Overall, Teena is a highly experienced professional who has an impressive track record of delivering unique, customized, and successful experiential learning experiences for our students. Her knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm for creating an exceptional program for our students make her an invaluable asset to TGS.

  • Sheena is a seasoned professional with years of experience in customer service across diverse industries. Her friendly and approachable demeanour and exceptional communication skills have enabled her to build strong and lasting relationships with interns and colleagues.

    Her keen understanding of people's needs and her patience has made her approachable among interns she has worked with in the past. She takes the time to listen to their concerns and offer guidance that helps them feel comfortable and empowered to learn and grow.

  • Panchali is the go-to person for all things administrative and financial. Our Office Manager admits she loves counting money and hates eating vegetables.

    Meticulous and detailed in making plans and sticking to them, she does everything by the book.

    She treasures her independence and freedom and doesn’t sweat the small stuff. Instead, she’s more focused on doing the things that make her happy.

    She believes the best things in life are free, but if you are going to claim for something, you better make sure you kept the receipt!

  • Meet Wawa, a dedicated Business Service Manager who has successfully handled processes for international students to come to Malaysia. Wawa's true passion lies in helping students achieve their dreams of international education.

    Wawa's commitment to learning, particularly in the realm of procedures and enhancing administrative processes, is unwavering. This drive has led Wawa to refine and optimize these essential procedures, creating a more efficient and accessible experience for students and institutions alike.

    Wawa is excited to be part of this dynamic field and looks forward to contributing expertise to support the pursuit of global education for aspiring students.
