The Non-Immigrant Student
by The Non-Immigrant Student
The Non-Immigrant Student podcast is an audio journal of my grad-school (and now corporate) journey in the United States of America. It is an inspirational podcast that seeks to encourage and provide guidance to other non-immigrant students across the globe on how to live their best lives while fulfilling their Study/Work Abroad dreams or living far away home! My stories reveal all the lessons I'm learning on this journey, and I honestly believe that ''If I can do it, you can do it too!'' So excited to have you with me on this journey, Welcome!
