Education: Bachelors, London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), UK; graduated in 2025

Subject: Political Science

Sector(s) of interest: Technology, Healthcare, Entrepreneurship

My greatest challenge when I applied to business school: Balancing building a business and doing the GRE.

About me: Born into a family of doctors, I grew up in Oxford before heading down the road to London to study politics at LSE, with an exchange year at Sciences Po in Paris, France.

Before London Business School, I gained experience across finance – from an internship at the Bank of England to investment banking at Lincoln International and UBS, working in sponsor coverage and private capital fundraising, respectively.

More recently, I’ve been developing my family’s medical clinic in Oxford while building vertical software for healthcare with co-founders I met at a London Business School hackathon before joining the MiM programme.

Outside academics, sport has always been a big part of my life. I play football for London Business School and have rowed competitively. My favourite sporting moments include competing in the FA Youth Cup and racing at Henley Royal Regatta. I’m also a fan of calisthenics and make the most of the outdoor gym at Primrose Hill, which we’re lucky to have so close to campus! Away from sport, I play three musical instruments.

I’m always happy to chat about joining the MiM programme from a non-business degree; the application process; life in London; or GRE with dyslexia.

Three topics I can be approached about: Application process; GRE preparation; entrepreneurship.
