My greatest challenge when I applied to business school: GMAT
About me: Due to my keen interest in global developments, I pursued a degree in International Affairs at the University of St Gallen in Switzerland. After graduating, my interests led me through a diverse range of internships at a major consulting firm, an innovative Swiss company and the Embassy of Switzerland in Singapore. Motivated by a desire to positively impact my surroundings, I co- founded femella—a networking platform that empowers young, ambitious women by uniting them across various disciplines to connect, learn and grow.
Reflecting on my varied experiences, I realised my passion lies in the private sector, particularly consulting. Having lived in Argentina, Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland and the UK, my fondness for international settings steered me to pursue my studies at LBS.
Having had enriching interactions with LBS alumni during my application process, I am eager to offer similar support. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
Three topics I can be approached for: Attending LBS when you have a non-traditional business background; how to be organised and multi-task (university life/applications/extracurriculars); anything related to female empowerment.
