With over a decade of experience in international education, Flora brings a wealth of knowledge and a deep understanding of the global university landscape to her new role. Her career has been dedicated to guiding students through the complexities of higher education admissions, with a particular focus on helping them identify institutions that align with their academic strengths, personal goals, and cultural preferences. Flora’s expertise spans multiple educational systems, including the International Baccalaureate (IB) and A-Levels, and she has successfully supported students in gaining admission to top-tier universities across North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Her appointment underscores Aiglon’s commitment to providing exceptional, personalized guidance to its students and their families as they navigate the increasingly competitive and diverse world of university admissions.
