From SVP to Global Ambitions:

Marvella Mutiara’s Path to Success in Business Administration

“SVP gave me the freedom to explore my passions and the foundation to chase my goals confidently. It’s where I learned that success is not just about achievements, but also about growth.”

It’s amazing how things work out. Two years ago, I was asked by SVP to share my story, and I talked about my dream: “I’ve always envisioned myself working overseas in a well-known multinational firm, gaining experience through internships and social work.” At the time, I was a first-year bachelor’s student, not knowing that today, those ambitions would become a reality. My goal has always been to be successful and content, and I’m grateful to see that I’m heading in the right direction. I’m now a Retail Learning & Development Intern at Under Armour EMEA, where I have the opportunity to work in a corporate setting, with an international team.

Looking back at my time in SVP, I can see how much it shaped me to become who I am today. SVP gave me the space to explore my interests and develop my talents. Whether it was acting, singing, or debating, the extracurricular activities and service projects allowed me to discover what I’m interested in. Furthermore, the IB curriculum has equipped me with sufficient skills for university, particularly in collaboration, organization, and critical thinking. The project-based environment fostered independence, allowing us to approach assignments in our unique ways.

I was able to participate in a variety of projects and experiments at the school, which improved my comprehension of theoretical concepts. My interest in science and technology has grown significantly as a result of this. I was motivated to not just meet but beyond expectations because of the school’s emphasis on academic success, which ultimately helped me graduate with cum laude. Sekolah Victory Plus helped me to successfully go through the difficult decision-making process of choosing an appropriate program and submitting scholarship applications because of the advice and mentoring I received.

What truly made SVP special for me were the people. The incredible support from friends, teachers, and staff continues to resonate with me, and I’m so grateful that many of those connections remain strong today. My fondest memory has to be the Japanese Immersion Programme in 8th grade. We didn’t just travel around Japan, but also stayed with host families and experienced a snow camp.

As I continue on this journey, I’m often reminded of how much I’ve grown, thanks to the strong foundation I built at SVP. I’m grateful for the supportive community I can always return to at SVP, and I’m excited to see where this path leads next.
