My greatest challenge when I applied to business school: Considering how going back to school or getting a masters degree would help me professionally, with two years of consulting experience.
About me: I worked as a management consultant in the technology space for two years prior to joining the Masters in Analytics and Management programme at LBS. Throughout my career and personal development, my passion has always been a blend of consulting and sociology, especially in the areas of family and personal growth. I’m currently getting certified as a life coach to help individuals and professionals with mental health questions and to navigate early career challenges.
My career aspiration is to explore strategy consulting with a design thinking mindset. I believe human-centred ways of thinking will be the north star of the modern digital world with Generative AI and automation becoming more and more utilised. To be sustainable, the future of organisational transformation and digital implementation must consider customer journeys and user experience.
Outside of work, I enjoy a lot of physical activities including endurance trail running and multi-day backpacking to challenge myself physically and mentally. I sometimes create video content to record my journey and inspire people into the trail running sport. My goal in about 5 years’ time is to do the UTMB (Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc) trail run race in Europe!
Three topics I can be approached about: Masters in Management versus Masters in Analytics and Management; fitting into the LBS culture; life in London.
