About me: Prior to starting my MBA, I was a Talent Strategy Project Manager at Nielsen, a global company focused on media measurement, data and analytics. I began my journey at Nielsen as a Human Resources Emerging Leaders Rotational Program Associate, rotating through roles in Compensation, HR Business Partner for Technology and Data Science, HR Information Systems and Client Solutions for Disney. Stepping into the role of Talent Strategy Project Manager, I partnered cross-functionally within the business and externally with private equity owners and consultants to drive talent transformation within the Gracenote business unit.
I joined LBS to develop my global perspective and to learn with and from diverse peers. I am keen to explore careers in strategy consulting and technology in areas where I can continue to partner cross-functionally and attack organisational problems.
I like to spend my free time travelling and exploring, cooking with friends and playing sports. I am always training for a race with friends and am an active member of the Volleyball Club and Women’s Touch Rugby Club.
Three topics I can be approached for: Human resources/talent strategy; studying in London as an American; career pivoting.
