My greatest challenge when I applied to business school: Balancing the demanding application process with my ongoing internships and academic commitments.
About me: I grew up in Paris with British, French and Swiss roots, which has given me a global perspective. Before LBS, I completed my bachelors in Information Management for Business at UCL, where I developed a strong interest in finance and leadership. During my time at UCL, I served as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant, helping students tackle complex programming concepts while fostering collaboration.
Professionally, I have gained experience in private equity at Ardian, working on M&A and private equity deals across various industries. Additionally, I have a strong interest in blockchain technology and its applications in finance, which has further shaped my career aspirations.
At LBS, I’m eager to engage with the diverse and talented student community, collaborate with peers and share my experiences with prospective students. My long-term goal is to pursue a career in investment banking, focusing on large-cap M&A deals. I look forward to leveraging the global network and opportunities at LBS to further my career in finance.
Three topics I can be approached about: Navigating the M&A and private equity internship process; balancing academic commitments with leadership roles in LBS clubs; football.
