About me: I am currently pursuing a Masters in Finance at LBS, focusing on impact investing and financial innovation. Throughout my career, I’ve been driven by a passion for leveraging finance to create meaningful societal impact, especially in areas like financial inclusion and sustainability.

I hold a bachelors in Economics from Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú and a CFA Charterholder.

I began my career as a financial analyst at the Central Bank of Peru, where I worked on projects related to financial system analysis and microenterprise lending innovations. One of my key responsibilities was analysing the financial statements of banks, particularly in SME lending. I also provided consulting services during this time, focusing on capital markets and corporate finance projects aimed at enhancing financial inclusion.

At LBS, I am honing my skills in financial modelling and deepening my knowledge of sustainable finance. I am involved in the Blockchain Society and the Student Impact Investing Fund, where I continue to foster my passion for societal impact. I believe that finance can play a transformative role in addressing global challenges and I am eager to contribute to this evolving field.

Outside of work, I am an avid reader, with a particular interest in financial history, philosophy and science fiction, which keep me intellectually curious and inspired to think creatively about the future of finance. I’m always open to discussing new ideas around finance, economics and social impact and enjoy connecting with others who share these interests.

Three topics I can be approached about: Financial history; macroeconomics; fintech.
