Bio
Olivia Birwari
As a colleague of Basel, I have witnessed his professionalism and enthusiasm in teaching and financial advising. He is highly skilled and creative; he displays true passion in his work helping students in achieving their goals. His insights have strengthened the programs at Solex College. After a few months of being employed, the class size spiked immensely. He is always ready to give constructive feedback and looking for ways to learn and grow from people around him. Solex College would truly not be the same without him.
