About

I am currently pursuing an MSc in Economics and Strategy for Business at Imperial Business School. Prior to this, I studied Business Administration at Frankfurt School of Finance and Management and spent a semester abroad at Harvard College. I am grateful to have been supported throughout my studies by scholarships from the Foundation of German Business (sdw), the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS), and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Alongside my studies, I have been actively engaged in student clubs, student investment funds, and volunteer work. What excites me is working at the intersection where finance and strategy drive growth, particularly in dynamic sectors and industries undergoing change or transformation. I am currently looking for a position aligned with this focus.
