About me: After completing my studies at the University of Cape Town, I joined Morgan Stanley as an investment banking analyst in Johannesburg. Over the course of my career, I progressed to vice president, advising clients on mergers and acquisitions, equity capital markets and debt financing transactions across Sub-Saharan Africa. Additionally, I actively contributed to recruitment efforts for Morgan Stanley’s Johannesburg office throughout my time at the firm.

I decided to pursue an MBA at London Business School to broaden my commercial perspective, sharpen my judgement and strengthen my leadership skills. I was drawn to the unparalleled post-MBA opportunities in London’s financial markets, the diversity of thought offered by a cohort representing 61 nationalities, with over 90% international students, and the flexibility to tailor my MBA experience to my interests and goals.

I am a recipient of the London Business School African Scholarship. Furthermore, I serve as a Junior Treasurer for the Student Association, Chief of Staff for the 25th Africa Business Summit and Vice President of Careers for the Black in Business Club.

Outside the classroom, I enjoy playing golf and exploring my passion for music. I also enjoy travelling and experiencing different cultures

Three topics I can be approached about: Finance; application process; Black in Business Club.
