My greatest challenge when I applied to business school: Gathering the strength to believe in myself.
About me: I graduated with a BSc in International Economics and Finance from Bocconi University, Italy. During my time at Bocconi, I was engaged with the Bocconi Students Investment Club (bsic.it), which helped me learn about various aspects of the finance industry and develop my leadership and teamwork skills.
Professionally, I have worked in business development at Amazon in London, where I helped clients grow their presence and revenues on the platform. I have also completed an internship in financial planning and analysis in Milan and one in asset management in Sofia.
Outside of work and academics, I practise meditation and yoga. I also love going to the opera and to heavy metal concerts with my friends and family. I recently took up cycling and became a designated ‘Boris biker’ in the city!
Three topics I can be approached for: LBS applications prep; applications for Amazon; maintaining a balance between work/studies and wellbeing.
