Meet Our Team
StEPS is more than just an educational consultancy—we’re a close-knit team with a passion for guiding students and professionals on their journeys. Our story starts back in 1998, when our founder, Saima, was invited by her alma mater, Warwick University, to be their exclusive International Office representative while she taught at two premier universities in Pakistan.
Fast forward to 2003, and Saima officially launched StEPS, bringing with her years of insight and international experience. Today, our team proudly partners with select global universities, consulting on international recruitment, transnational education initiatives, and collaborative projects. But our core strength remains independent guidance: we help students find their best-fit university and navigate admissions to some of the world’s most prestigious institutions.
For over 25 years, StEPS has been all about ethical, supportive admissions counseling through our StEPS2Uni service. We build lasting relationships with our students and their families, fostering a vibrant alumni community that stays connected long after graduation. Our commitment continues with StEPS2Success, where we help graduates and professionals take the next step in their careers—whether it’s coaching, outplacement support, or strategic professional development planning, we’re there every step of the way.
Meet a team that’s dedicated to your growth, celebrates your success, and makes every stage of your journey safe, supportive, and rewarding.
