My greatest challenge when I applied to business school: Balancing my full-time job while preparing my application and studying for the GMAT.
About me: I started my undergraduate studies in medical school. After two years studying medicine, I decided to pursue a business degree. While this decision has been the right one for me, I faced a lot of uncertainty at the time.
Committing to my academic journey, I enrolled in a bachelors in Entrepreneurial Engineering. It was there that I found my passion for finance.
After graduating, I worked full-time for almost two years at EY’s Valuation and Business Modeling service line. I soon realised that I wanted to continue my academic journey at LBS where I could align my career goals with my experience. I am currently looking for opportunities in the financial services sector in London.
In my free time, I enjoy volunteering and practising martial arts.
Three topics I can be approached about: LBS opportunities; Latin American community; visa applications.
