ALUMNI STORIES
Inspired to Inspire Nisya Tiffany Salim (Class of 2020) "One thing that stood out to me was my teacher who was very caring & understanding. I want to be that kind of teacher, I want to help kids and to be there with them." - Nisya Tiffany
Nisya, formerly class of 2020, is currently studying Secondary Education major at Calvin University. She's an education enthusiast who is passionate about transforming the lives of students.
In 2019, Nisya joined a Sayap Ilmu’s Mission Trip to a village in Flores, Nusa Tenggara Timur. That trip was quite an eye-opener to her and stirred her passion further. And that is where Nisya decided to pursue a career as a teacher.
Her passion for education sparked when she was an 8th grader during a spiritual retreat session. She also was an appointed leader in Sayap Ilmu, a student-led club that works to improve literacy and educational access of underprivileged children in the rural areas of Indonesia.
