My greatest challenge when I applied to business school: My greatest challenge when I applied to business school was deciding what actually mattered to me beyond rankings – the programme, the people, the city and whether I could really see myself there.
About me: Before joining London Business School, I completed my undergraduate degree in management at ESCP Business School, where I studied in Paris, Turin and London.
Alongside my studies, I gained experience across technology, financial services and the automotive industry. Working in different industries and international environments made me increasingly interested in how data can be used to understand business problems and support better decision-making, which ultimately led me to the MAM programme.
Having studied and worked in different countries, I really enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds and experiencing new cultures. Outside of academics, I love travelling, exploring new places and sharing parts of my life on social media.
As a student ambassador, I’m happy to share my experience of applying to London Business School, choosing the MAM programme and adjusting to student life in London. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
Three topics I can be approached about: Moving to London and international student life; choosing the right programme and applying to London Business School; scholarships and financing your studies.
