About me: I hold a bachelors from the University of Toronto, specialising in Accounting, and I am a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA Canada). I began my career at BMW Group Canada’s head office, supporting corporate projects across finance and operations. I later transitioned to the renewable energy sector, where I have spent the past five years working on international development projects, including two focused on offshore wind farms in Asia. This experience has allowed me to collaborate with global teams, contribute to large-scale infrastructure initiatives and apply financial analytics to support strategic decision-making.
I chose to pursue the MBA programme at LBS to deepen my finance expertise and transition into strategy and operations management – leveraging my financial foundation to take on a more active role in shaping business direction and project execution. I am also keen to explore entrepreneurship as a long-term path. London’s position as a global financial hub, coupled with LBS’s diverse community and curriculum, offers the ideal setting to achieve my goals.
Three topics I can be approached about: Women in business; getting involved on campus; moving to London.
