About me: Before joining LBS, I gained hands-on experience in investment banking and advisory through roles at Serengeti Capital Partners, Bridgewater Advisors and Linx Capital in Accra, Ghana. Those experiences deepened my understanding of corporate finance, capital raising and advisory work across industries.
At LBS, I serve as a student ambassador and I am currently a VP of Community in the Black in Business Club. I am also an active member of the Africa Business Club, Social Impact Club and Women in Business Club.
Looking ahead, I aim to continuously build my career in investment banking, with the long-term goal of contributing to the socio-economic growth of emerging markets like Ghana’s by supporting businesses to access the capital and strategic guidance needed to scale sustainably.
Three topics I can be approached about: Application and interview advice; transitioning to life in London; finding community as an international student.
