My greatest challenge when I applied to business school: Knowing what was required of me in the application. Thankfully, I spoke with London Business School alumni and ambassadors who helped me.
About me: Growing up in Luxembourg with French and German roots, I always wanted to keep building on that international exposure. Before London Business School, I completed my undergraduate degree in international business administration at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, and spent an exchange semester at the University of Hong Kong.
In my first year of university, I co-founded Asteria Investments, a female-only, student-led investment fund, and that is where my interest in finance grew from. I then gained experience in corporate finance at Deloitte, as well as in equity research and consulting.
Outside of work, sport has always been a big part of my life, and it still is today. I competed internationally in rhythmic gymnastics for many years. I have also always enjoyed taking on new challenges, including being active in numerous student associations.
I decided to come to London Business School to expand my international network, learn from ambitious peers from around the world and build my career in finance. I benefited from a lot of advice during my own application process, and I am happy to give back, so please do not hesitate to reach out.
Three topics I can be approached about: Internship applications; moving abroad; opportunities within London Business School.
