About me: Before London Business School, I called Toronto, Canada, home. I spent eight years at Lilly in brand management, most recently focused on product launches.
My path into healthcare began with a childhood type 1 diabetes diagnosis, which sparked my passion for helping patients living with chronic disease.
I chose London Business School for London itself and for the flexibility of the programme, from LondonCAP to exchanges and exit points. I’m here to pair my STEM background with sharp business instincts and to learn from classmates with perspectives from all over the world.
Outside the classroom, I’m a Community Representative; Junior Executive Committee member for the Women in Business and Retail, Luxury and Consumer Goods clubs; and a proud member of the Women’s Touch Rugby team. The rest of my time goes to meeting new people, travelling to new places and exploring every corner of London!
Three topics I can be approached about: Deciding to do an MBA; moving to London; applying with a ‘non business’ background.
