At RSDPathways, we’re more than just an education agency — we are partners in your journey to realising your dreams through world-class education in New Zealand.
RSDPathways was born from a personal journey of transformation. Our founder’s story began as an international student from the Philippines who faced the uncertainties, challenges, and life-changing opportunities that come with studying abroad. After successfully navigating this journey and becoming a proud New Zealand resident in 2022, the mission became clear: to help others unlock the same doors to success and opportunity.
An unexpected conversation with the CEO of one of our partner institutions planted the seed for RSDPathways. Inspired by the idea of guiding others through their own educational journeys, we took that spark and built a platform dedicated to empowering international students.
With a varied career across entrepreneurship, culinary arts, healthcare, and education, I am driven by a passion for empowering others to pursue meaningful futures. My journey reflects adaptability, cross-cultural resilience, and a purposeful evolution toward roles that create impact.
A graduate of Bachelor’s of Business Administration in Marketing Management and a Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Business (New Zealand, 2017). Before moving to New Zealand, I established a food catering business in the Philippines, supported by formal training in Culinary Arts and hands-on experience from a culinary training in the U.S.
In New Zealand, I balanced roles as a part-time chef during studies and later full-time, honing creativity and resilience. Seeking deeper purpose, I transitioned to caregiving for individuals with disabilities, where I championed empathy and advocacy. A pivotal shift occurred during my pregnancy, when I embraced education and mentorship, guiding aspiring students and professionals, particularly migrants, to navigate study, career, and migration pathways in New Zealand.
Today, I merge my diverse expertise, from marketing and culinary arts to healthcare and cross-cultural education, into a mission to inspire others, bridge opportunities, and turn ambitions into reality. My story is one of reinvention, fueled by the belief that every challenge is a stepping stone to growth.
To be the bridge that helps students and professionals from all over the world access life-changing education and career opportunities in New Zealand.
Because we believe that every dream deserves a pathway — and every student deserves a guide..
