About me: Before joining LBS, I spent four years working as a technical consultant implementing clinical trial software solutions for clients in the pharmaceutical industry. I advised and supported pharma clients and medical device companies across the US, Europe and Asia.
I have always been passionate about the life sciences, particularly the intersection of technology with healthcare. After completing my masters degree in Public Health, I worked at a medical device startup focused on patients with heart failure and published my masters research on the effectiveness of digital technologies in promoting weight loss.
During the MBA programme at LBS, I plan to complement my STEM background with the broader business skills and acumen to advance my career within the life sciences industry.
In my free time, I enjoy running, sewing, travelling and listening to Taylor Swift (you can speak to me about the unofficial LBS Swifties club). I am also Welsh and a Welsh speaker.
Three topics I can be approached about: Life sciences and healthtech; living and studying in London; applying with a ‘non business’ background.
