My greatest challenge when I applied to business school: Worrying about the GMAT.
About me: Having spent five years in Stockholm and wanting to pursue a masters degree, I was looking for a programme that would not only equip me with a practical business foundation but open the door to an international learning experience.
Before starting at LBS, I had work experience in investment banking, global markets and consulting. After much thought, I have decided that the consulting route is the best fit for me because of the constant exposure to new industries in a rapidly changing world.
Moving to London was a big change for me. Despite attending secondary school just outside of London, it takes time to adjust to the big city. However, as it is such a large city, there is always something for everyone.
In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and painting. During my gap year after secondary school, I moved to Paris to attend Le Cordon Bleu. I hope to refine these skills outside of the classroom while of course sharing my passion with fellow classmates.
Three topics I can be approached for: Internships within investment banking, consulting, markets and venture capital; Women in Business Scholarship; food!
