About me: I am a US and Sierra Leone dual-national with a bachelors degree in Economics from Stanford University. Before joining the MBA programme at LBS, I worked at Purpose Venture Group, a boutique climate strategy consulting firm, where I played a key role in supporting two successful client bids for the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund.
I decided to pursue my MBA at LBS to deepen my expertise in clean energy innovation, particularly in developing countries. I am excited about leveraging LBS’s robust entrepreneurial network through programmes like the Entrepreneurship Summer School and by participating in clubs such as Energy and Environment and Social Impact.
In my free time, I am an avid traveller and a passionate (but often miserable) fan of Manchester United. I stay active by playing football, exploring London and tinkering with startup ideas related to clean energy solutions.
Three topics I can be approached for: Climate/energy; entrepreneurship; moving to the UK from the US.
