About me: I’m a MiFFT student at London Business School, originally from China. I moved to the UK in 2018 to study Economics and Politics at the University of Glasgow. After graduation, I joined Deloitte London’s valuation and modelling team, where I spent three years progressing from graduate associate to assistant manager. My work focused on valuing banks, asset management and infrastructure portfolios, as well as advising on private market transactions for financial services clients.
As a CFA Charterholder, I’m passionate about using analytical frameworks to solve real-world valuation and investment challenges.
Alongside my professional journey, I care about international student wellbeing and post-study outcomes, having previously served as a UKCISA student ambassador to support global students adapting to life in the UK.
Three topics I can be approached about: Studying at LBS and life in the UK as a foreign national; building a career in the professional services industry; tackling the CFA exams.
