Finance and Banking

Vathani graduated from the University of South-East Asia with a degree in Finance and Banking in 2024. She is a smart and hardworking person, and throughout her studies, she was consistently at the top of her class. However, her journey to educational success was not easy. Vathani comes from a rural village about 40km out of Siem Reap, a 40-minute drive by car, and often longer on a motorbike. Her father has been unemployed for much of Vathani’s life, or absent while pursuing work outside the village. He was able to support the family by renting land and growing rice, which ensured that there was usually enough food to eat. Vathani’s mother stays home to look after the house and family. Unfortunately, Vathani’s younger brother failed the high school diploma exam due to poor educational access and support from his family. Fortunately, Vathani’s high school education was supported by an aunt on her mother’s side, She worked hard and received higher grades than many of her peers. Her dedication to her studies allowed her to gain entry into university, and the sponsorship she received from the Cambodian Education and Development Organization (CEDO) allowed her to concentrate on her classes. Throughout university, Vathani developed her communication and problem-solving skills, which helped her begin her professional career. During her university years, she worked at various places. Finally, she worked as an administrative assistant at Xin Hou International School and was promoted to Deputy Director. She is very experienced in education and school administration.
