My greatest challenge when I applied to business school: Bringing together my different experiences in a way that clearly reflected what I wanted from my next step: an international environment where I could keep learning, contributing and creating impact.
About me: I have always been driven by the idea of creating opportunities for others and contributing to communities that can grow beyond my own involvement. This is what led me to found Fondazione Carla Mercurio, a non-profit supporting youth education through scholarships, mentorship and partnerships. I am now pursuing the GMiM at London Business School as part of the LBS–Fudan dual-degree, which gives me the opportunity to study in London and Shanghai and develop the international perspective I want to bring into my career.
At London Business School, I am part of the Executive Committee of the Alumni pillar, helping strengthen connections between current students and the wider London Business School community. For me, this reflects the same principle that guides my work outside university: giving back, connecting people and creating value for others.
Looking ahead, I am particularly interested in strategy consulting and international business, with the goal of helping leaders navigate complex challenges and create lasting value.
As a student ambassador, I look forward to sharing my experience and helping prospective students understand what makes the London Business School community so unique.
Three topics I can be approached about: Choosing London Business School and the GMiM; student life and community; strategy consulting and career exploration.
