My greatest challenge when I applied to business school: Selecting a programme to fit my career goals.

About me: From climbing mountain peaks to exploring the world of business and analytics, my journey has been one of curiosity and growth.

Starting with an interest in engineering and technology, I quickly became fascinated by how data can drive business decisions. During my undergraduate years, I honed technical skills in Python, R and machine learning, applying them in various projects across industries to solve real- world challenges.

Professionally, I worked on projects where I applied machine learning models to forecast trends and improve business strategies, sharpening my problem-solving abilities and gaining valuable insights into collaboration and teamwork. These experiences fuelled my passion for turning data into actionable insights that make a tangible impact.

This passion led me to the Masters in Analytics and Management programme at LBS, where I want to further enhance my analytical and strategic skills within a global business environment.

Outside of work, my love for adventure continues, whether hiking, exploring finance through options trading or enjoying a good book. I’m excited to contribute to and grow within the dynamic, diverse LBS community, alongside peers who share my drive for innovation and leadership.

Three topics I can be approached about: Financing; assessing programmes fit for your career goals; transitioning from engineering.
