My greatest challenge when I applied to business school: Understanding which school would be right for me based on my interests and my future career goals.
About me: During my undergraduate degree, I studied Finance, which helped me build interest in how businesses grow and create value. After graduating, I joined PwC’s deals advisory team, working on due-diligence and market studies across industries such as renewable energy, financial services and logistics. These projects gave me a front-row seat to how investors think and confirmed my ambition to pursue a career in investment banking.
Outside of work, I’ve always loved engaging in things that push me out of my comfort zone. Debate was a big one; from nervously starting out in high school to eventually reaching the finals of tournaments like the Oxford IV. Music, video games and the arts have been constant sources of energy for me, whether that’s playing Valorant with friends or getting lost in a gallery on weekends.
Since moving to London, I’ve loved exploring everything the city has to offer, from catching Arsenal matches, enjoying evenings in the West End or diving into London’s incredible cinema scene. As I engage with a truly global community at LBS, I’m very excited to represent the MiM programme as a student ambassador.
Three topics I can be approached about: Living in London; application advice; recruitment insights for investment banking.
