About me: I am originally from the US—born in Texas and raised in Oregon—and moved to London three years ago.
I have been fortunate to compress quite a few distinct experiences into my career so far! I started off in private wealth management, left to study political philosophy at graduate level, and then went on to work in climate philanthropy. I learned a lot from these experiences about what I am good at, what I could be better at, and the kind of leader and person I want to be.
I decided to pursue an MBA at LBS in order to reflect seriously on these learnings and identify a path that combines the best parts of those experiences into a long-term and meaningful career.
Three topics I can be approached for: Climate; finance; career transitions.
