Betty Ninan

Description

I am a Certified Senior Career Counselor with over 22 years of experience at a group of prestigious schools in Trivandrum, Kerala, India. In my role, I established career guidance activities across CBSE, ICSE, and State curricula, guiding approximately 1,200 students annually for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in India, the US, the UK, and Australia. My counseling experience exceeds 20000 hours, focusing on stress management, goal setting, relationship issues, study challenges, behavior transformation, and time management skills.

I hold an MA in Social Work and an M.Phil in Education, which, alongside my experience, has prepared me well for my role. Previously, I worked in the IT sector and currently evaluate personal interviews for admissions at KREA University in Chennai. My motivation stems from my own career journey.

I assist students and parents in navigating career options, providing guidance on Statements of Purpose (SOPs), Letters of Recommendation (LORs), and the Common Application process, while utilizing aptitude tests for successful field selection. My background in mentoring civil service aspirants further highlighted the need for career counseling, leading me to develop a dedicated Career Counseling Center.

In my capacity as a counselor, I also address relationship issues and work-life challenges affecting students and their families.
