Femi Ferreras is a Senior Education Counsellor at AECC Melbourne with 8 years of experience in international education across Australia and New Zealand. Originally from the Philippines, she began her career in Australia as a receptionist at AECC Melbourne. She then progressed into senior counselling, completing her Qualified Education Agent Counsellor (QEAC) certification along the way.
Femi is a primary point of contact for students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. She takes a client-first approach, tailoring her advice to each student's needs and keeping her guidance clear, especially when students are uncertain or under stress. When cases are urgent or complex, she assesses them carefully, consults the right channels and works towards a smooth resolution.
Her expertise covers student visas, PhD and research pathways, the higher education and vocational sectors, and school-age applications. She consistently meets her placement targets, and her tailored, culturally responsive support has helped increase student engagement and referrals. She has completed familiarisation visits to Bond University, Flinders University, Study Adelaide and the University of Newcastle.
Femi is deeply motivated to support onshore international students in achieving their career goals and realising their Australian dream.
