About me: I am an ex-consultant with a passion for fintech. Prior to my MBA, I worked as a Technology Architecture Specialist at Accenture for six years, after graduating from my undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from King’s College London. I worked across different projects for a variety of Fortune 500 clients, primarily focusing on software design and architectural best practices.
Whilst on a sabbatical travelling across Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines, I decided to apply to the MBA at LBS as I wanted to pivot from my technical role to more client-facing roles. Having already lived and studied in London previously, I knew the incredible opportunities that LBS would provide—in particular, the diverse student body.
Alongside my studies, I am part of the Wine and Spirits Club Executive Committee and am an active member of the Tech Club, Women in Business Club and the Racket Sports Club.
In my free time, I love exploring London’s food and cocktail scene, spending time with friends, catching up on the latest shows and volunteering at London Zoo!
Three topics I can be approached for: Technology consulting; LBS life as a London native; applying in later rounds.
