My greatest challenge when I applied to business school: Preparing for the GMAT with a limited budget.
About me: For my undergraduate degree, I read Literae Humaniores (a fancy way to say ‘Classics’) at the University of Oxford, after which I became deputy director of my family business: an educational consultancy for K-12. While leading strategy, I developed a love for programming and its potential to generate insights and streamline efficiency.
Eager to enter the next phase of my career, I wanted to learn new skills and apply them in real time – the MAM programme is the perfect blend of this. The LBS culture also means that I am constantly connecting with people while finding new opportunities to grow and use my skills. I am ever grateful to be a lifelong member of this genuinely welcoming and supportive community.
Three topics I can be approached about: Being Black/British at LBS; applying to the MAM with a humanities background; disability support at LBS.
