About me: Before joining LBS, I spent seven years in finance and investment, most recently as a vice president at Georgia Capital where I worked on M&A and corporate projects in various sectors.
I chose LBS for its incredible diversity and community spirit – it’s a place where you learn as much from your classmates as you do in class. I’m passionate about how finance can shape industries and create impact. I’m exploring opportunities in investment banking and private equity, while staying open to other sectors, such as healthcare and energy.
Outside of school, I enjoy discovering new parts of London, playing board games and spending time with friends over a good beer. Moving countries can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time, so I’m always happy to chat about settling into London and navigating the MBA, or just sharing stories about this amazing experience.
Three topics I can be approached about: Application process; academics at LBS; classroom environment.
