May 2012 - Dec 2013
I started my career with Oxbridge Communication - India, where I was delegated with the role of a Branch Coordinator. I was primarily responsible for spearheading a gamut of activities pertaining to general administration and implementation of operational plans with a focus to ensure smooth running of the institute. Additionally, I evaluated the development & implementation of objectives and long-range plans for curriculum, educational programs and instructional evaluation and improvement. I conjoined with teachers and other staff members to design the pedagogy and plan the academic year; identified, selected, implemented and modified instructional resources to meet the needs of the students. I reviewed current educational resources to inform the on-going development of the programme so as to ensure its quality and relevance and established policies and procedures to carry them out. Furthermore, I advised on academic or administrative committees that deal with institutional policies, departmental matters, and academic issues and determined the allocation of funds needed to operate effectively and efficiently.
