About

Hello, my name is Robel Dawit. I was born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and completed my schooling at School of America, Addis Ababa. I pursued higher education at Shoolini University, India, where I earned a Bachelor of Commerce and an MBA in Retail and Digital Marketing. While studying, I worked part-time for three years in the International Relations department at Shoolini University, contributing to international student engagement initiatives and supporting global marketing strategies. I later moved to Taiwan as an intern at National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU) and currently work at PATTA International, Taiwan, focusing on sales and international business development across global markets.
