Thanks for sharing.
Compared to the typical candidate, you would have less work experience. Thus, fast-tracked promotions, awards, and leaderships roles are good to highlight especially as you are an early applicant. Being actively involved in the community also helps your profile.
Quantifying your impact and demonstrating leadership experiences are also important. Sharing your personal story, what motivates you and what you care about would help you connect on a deeper level. If you could do this and show fit with the target program, it would help.
Certifications, especially if they are very selective/well-known help show your academic capacity.
Getting a job onshore could help assure your target programs that you will be marketable post-MBA in your target country.
All the best with the GMAT and the application process!
