About me: I am originally from Germany and moved to the US at 18 to go to university and play field hockey at the highest level. I graduated from Lafayette College with a bachelors in Mathematics and Economics and a Certificate in Financial Policy and Analysis and began my career at Morgan Stanley in New York City. Working as a sales and trading risk manager, I focused on securities lending and delta one structured products as part of the equities division.
I chose to pursue an MBA at London Business School to expand my European professional network and transition into a deal-oriented finance role. London was a key factor in my decision, as the companies I aim to work for are based here, offering excellent networking and career opportunities. London Business School’s strong finance curriculum and diverse community provide the ideal environment to build the required expertise.
I am currently exploring my interests through student clubs, serving on the Executive Committee of the Private Equity and Venture Capital Club and enjoying time spent with the Women’s Touch Rugby Club.
Three topics I can be approached about: Relocation; switching industries; sports in London.
