About me: I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2018 with a bachelors in Psychology and a minor in French. After graduation, I spent a year in Marseille, France, as an English language teaching assistant in primary schools. I then returned to the US, where I helped global clients optimise their pricing, portfolio and innovation strategies at NielsenIQ.
I decided to pursue an MBA at LBS to strengthen my business acumen and develop the necessary skills to transition into a new industry. Looking forward, I aspire to continue my passion for data-driven storytelling while also expanding into broader strategic areas as a consultant.
I chose LBS because it pairs a global experience with a top-tier education. It is thrilling to be in the diverse, multi-faceted environment at LBS. Each day, I learn something new that broadens my knowledge. Furthermore, LBS invests heavily in building real connections and bonds between students, so there’s a strong sense of community.
In my free time, I enjoy baking, reading and film photography. When not directly working on the MBA, I love to explore different areas of London or visit new cities in the UK, Europe and Africa.
Three topics I can be approached for: Black in Business; changing industries; marketing.
