My greatest challenge when I applied to business school: Balancing demanding internship hours with preparing strong applications and interviews.
About me: Before LBS, I completed my undergraduate degree in International Business Administration at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. I spent an exchange semester at the University of Hong Kong, and attended high school in both France and Sweden. My professional journey so far includes internships with HSBC in global banking and markets in Paris and secondary capital in private equity in Geneva. I am now set on building a career in investment banking M&A.
Sport has been a defining part of my life and continues to shape the way I approach challenges. I competed in judo for over 10 years, earning a black belt and national titles before stepping back to dedicate myself to academics. I also trained in ice skating for several years. Today, I channel that same drive into long-distance running.
As a student ambassador, I am eager to share my experiences, connect with prospective students and help them see how LBS can push them grow, challenge themselves and be part of something bigger.
Three topics I can be approached about: Applying to LBS from a non-UK
background; breaking into finance; balancing academics with sports and extracurriculars.
