My greatest challenge when I applied to business school: Understanding if London Business School made sense for my career path in corporate law and what I actually wanted to achieve.
About me: I’m originally from New Jersey, US, but moved to London to pursue an undergraduate degree in politics and international relations at LSE. Through this, I developed an understanding of how geopolitics and financial markets intersect, which I explored further as president of the United Nations Society. In parallel, my presidency of the Amnesty International Society sharpened my ability to communicate persuasively, organise large-scale events and solve problems under pressure. I’m excited to keep developing these skills during the MiM programme while also carrying forward the political perspectives I gained during my undergraduate studies.
Outside of academics, I enjoy public speaking and debate, meeting new people and exploring London.
Three topics I can be approached about: Moving from the US to the UK; a career in global markets or corporate law; being a British student/undergraduate.
