About me: I graduated from UCLA with a degree in International Development Studies and Political Science. After graduation, I joined a tech retail startup, where I helped brands like Google and BMW launch their experiential retail initiatives. I later moved to AngelList, where I worked closely with founders to streamline their fundraising efforts and improve access to early-stage capital. Alongside these roles, I founded a poultry enterprise in Haiti, which allowed me to bring my entrepreneurial ideas to life and gain firsthand experience in building and scaling a business from the ground up.

I decided to pursue the MBA programme at LBS to strengthen my foundation in finance and prepare for a career in development and impact investing, with a focus on driving sustainable economic growth across emerging markets.

I chose LBS for its central London location and the opportunity to learn from a truly global community that challenges my perspectives and broadens my worldview.

In my free time, I enjoy discovering new restaurants and museums around the city and playing volleyball on weekends.

Three topics I can be approached about: Working at startups; moving to London; pivoting careers.
