Family Details – Occupation of Mother, Father and sibling(s)*:
I was raised by two civil servants- my father served as a teacher and mother is an administrator at the Construction Development Board. My father had an early retirement due to health issue while my mother is still working. I have a younger brother who is completed Bachelors of Commerce majoring in finance from Royal Thimphu College and started his own business.
It is a fairytale in its truest sense, when I vowed to tie the silken knot with Namgay Wangdi. He is my friend through my entire educational journey starting pre-university to university. One best thing to marry a friend, I realize is that we don’t really have to try sticking to our vows; it becomes a natural impulse and recognition. Later, we also went to teach English in Thailand together.

Name of the chosen country/countries *:
Brisbane Australia
What are the reasons for choosing this Country? *:
First off, Australia is a first world country while Bhutan is still counted as a third world country and one of the world’s smallest economies despite our rapid development rate, so it is a given that everything in Australia will be an upgrade and a big one at that. As a top education destination, Australia boasts of innumerable foreign students from around the globe. This diversity would open my eyes to cultures, places, and celebrations I would never hear of otherwise.
Australia also has reputation for adopting new technologies at a faster rate than in most other countries. Australian qualifications are recognized by employers in many countries around the world and Australia is a safe, multicultural, friendly and harmonious society. The standards of living expenses and tuition costs are considerably lower in Australia than they are in the other countries. I was also attracted by how international students are able to work part time while they study, which will be very helpful to pay off our living costs.
• Brisbane is Australia’s third-largest city; it is also the capital of Queensland. It lauds the prowess of technology and modern amenities that support ‘livings of people’ in a metropolitan city. Brisbane is now a thriving metropolis and home to one and a half-million residents
• Affordability in terms of tuition fees and living, Brisbane offers the lowest costs than any other capital cities for international students. The city also possesses favorable weather. Owing to affordability to study and live, it is also easy navigation of public transportation system that makes Brisbane an idyllic city to study particularly for international students
Name of the chosen university (mention if you’re applying for multiple universities) *:
Holmes institute
What are the reasons for choosing this university? *:
I have selected Holmes Institute of Brisbane to undertake my studies. I come from a very small country, Bhutan and we don’t have such course offer that is why I thought of pursuing master’s in Professional Accounting. Holmes Institute is known for providing highest quality education to enable and empower the students irrespective of nationality, gender or belief. The Institute also provide students with the best resources and facilities which makes learning easier and faster as learning is the most important part in your life. Since the Holmes Institute in Australia provides a wide range of courses encompassing the fields that are of interest to me, I decided to apply for admission starting from academic year 2020.
Name of the chosen Course (not more than one) *:
Masters of Professional Accounting
Why are you applying for your chosen course? *
I am particularly interested in the study of Professional Accounting, because it provides lot of job opportunities, which introduces to marketing, human resources, accounting and customer care. Businesses are the growth drivers of the economy of a country which is a very important part of circular flow of any market economy, and in the world of modern business, professionals with an executive master’s in Professional Accounting are well regarded in large part because their education makes them expert creators and navigators of professional business relationships. In my country there is a dire need of such skills especially among the age group like mine and I believe I can gain all the skills I need from this course. Moreover, you can be self-employed because this course has the potential to be innovative, improve your socializing skills and become a great team player. In the future, I aspire to hold a managerial role in a multinational business; achieving this goal, however, requires that I have an international education and develop a more globalized viewpoint.
How will this course help you achieve your career goals and what are your plans after completing your studies? *
Business is an element that affects many aspects of today’s society. Given the numerous career opportunities that are available to graduates of business programs in different sectors, more and more students are opting to take up a business-related course. And one of the most coveted careers is working at managerial positions. After Completion, I wish to work for the same travel company I used to work with as the salary package is exceedingly best.
In times to come, I am also planning to start ecotourism venture in Bhutan. As we are a nation that worships nature and have stringent rules to protect and preserve our nature, there is no better place to start ecotourism than in Bhutan.

Immediately after graduation in 2016, I started working as a temporary employee at Tshokey Dorji Foundation in September 2016 to February 2017. The foundation works tirelessly to preserve and maintain the continuity of Buddha Dharma in Bhutan and beyond. At the foundation, I was assigned to bookkeeping and facilitate administrative works.
By few months later, after interviews and visa processing- I ventured outside the country to teach English in Thailand. I worked as English teacher at Prachinburi Technical College under OVEC (Office of the Vocational Education Commission) from November 2017 to September 2018. This opportunity to work away from my country added to my learning curve, develop confidence and self-reliance. My responsibility was to teach the students Basic English conversation plus planning and preparing teaching learning materials and test set and keeping records of students’ attendance and their performance, simultaneously providing useful feedbacks and suggestions to the students.
My stay in Thailand gave me an opportunity to meet and socialize with people from different walks of life where by I gain a broader outlook on life. Additionally, I have attended various school competitions whereby I functioned as a committee wherein I was complimented regarding my team work spirit and patience irrespective of the language barrier, by the management and the parents of the students.
After a year’s stint as English teacher in Thailand, I returned home. After coming to Bhutan, I started working as sales and marketing officer at Sakten Tours and Trek from November 2018 to the present day. Working as a Marketing and Sales Officer in Sakten tours and treks gave me an insight into the responsibilities of management professional. Without any prior experience about business management, I had to learn everything from the scratch, however, as a result of my enthusiasm and fast learning qualities; it did not take much time to get myself settled in this position. Besides, without the help, patience and guidance from my superiors and colleagues wouldn’t have been possible.
