Meet The Founder

Counsellor & student strategist

Connect with me at:

Here's what I learned after nearly 20 years: Most students are flying blind on study abroad decisions that eventually cost them years, money and their aim+hunger to achieve. While you're figuring things out, deadlines are passing and seats are filling up.

After working with universities, seeing education systems across different pathways and medical field, we've figured out what students want and what universities are looking for, or recruiters if they're on medical pathway.

This led us to counsel hundreds of students and build real networks with partnered universities worldwide*.

With #PGS - we've made this the only admission counseling hub and expert network for your study abroad journey. Every day you wait, another opportunity slips away.

You don't have to figure this out alone. The study abroad journey needs proper planning, honest advice, and individual attention that actually cares about your goals.

Our uniqueness is our expertise and individual attention to students across study paths - be it USMLE, PLAB or AMC or paths involving masters, STEM, MBA and more.
