About me: Prior to LBS, I lived in Toronto, Canada. I started my career at RBC, a Canadian bank, and worked in varying roles across technology product management and corporate strategy in banking and wealth management.
I decided to pursue my MBA to explore strategy and tech outside of financial services, as well as to expand my experience internationally.
I chose LBS as I was excited to live in London with its diversity of people and reputation as a dynamic corporate hub. I am looking forward to enriching my worldview and expanding my perspectives, learning from multinational classmates and exploring London and the rest of Europe.
I am enjoying spending time outdoors and getting to know my peers through LBS’s sports clubs like Touch Rugby, Cycling and Ultimate Frisbee. I also like to snowboard, hike and travel to new places.
Three topics I can be approached for: Strategy/consulting; deciding to do an MBA; scholarship applications.
