I hold a Bachelor of Information Technology and a Master of Business Process Management from QUT, Australia. My early career in digital transformation with the Queensland Department of Education sharpened my ability to design interactive learning systems, while my graduate studies deepened my expertise in business architecture, project management, and change leadership—equipping me to build sustainable, high-impact ventures.

Alongside my studies, I mentored undergraduate students in entrepreneurship and coached teams in global business competitions hosted by Microsoft and Deloitte. After completing my master’s degree, I chose to step fully into entrepreneurship—founding education ventures in Myanmar, building interactive learning platforms, and cultivating a community of lifelong learners committed to innovation and social impact.
