Her professional studies in UK enabled her to gain employment with major companies in London, including stints at the Midland Bank and the Audi Group of Companies.

Furthermore, working for over six years at the University of Westminster has greatly helped her to understand the needs of today's students and effectively address their problems. Locally, she has also very successfully passed the Education UK Agents' Examination conducted by the British Council Sri Lanka. Joining her at West 1 International is her team of well trained and dedicated consultants who impart professional guidance to prospective students.

"I firmly believe that students need a great deal of patient guidance when choosing a UK based institution for higher studies. This is a significant decision in their lives and it is thus vital that they receive honest, professional advice to help ensure they make the best decision for their future.
