OGA Staff Spotlight
Before coming to the U.S., I worked in business development in Mongolia and helped lead several international projects. That background taught me how to work with different people, stay organized, and keep moving even when things get complicated. Those same skills help me in OGA too, because this work also takes patience, clear communication, and attention to detail What I like most so far is being in an office that supports international students in a real way I know how it feels to be far from home and need help m still take come have art of first tually
