Durham, England, United Kingdom
I am an MSc Economics student at Durham University with a strong interest in leadership, problem-solving, and high-performance environments. Throughout my time at Durham, I have combined academic study with extensive involvement in sport and leadership roles. I currently serve as Vice President of Durham University Basketball Club, coach university teams, and have captained teams at both university and national league level. These experiences have strengthened my ability to lead under pressure, communicate effectively, and work within high-performing teams. Academically, my interests include economics, strategy, and decision-making. My research has focused on topics including sports economics and organisational incentives, applying quantitative analysis to real-world problems. I will be joining AlphaSights in London as a Client Service Associate, where I look forward to developing my commercial awareness, communication skills, and ability to deliver results in a fast-paced environment. I am always interested in connecting with professionals across business, sport, economics, and leadership-focused industries.
As Vice President of Durham University Basketball Club, I support the strategic direction, operations, and development of one of the university’s largest and most competitive sports societies. My responsibilities include coordinating with committee members, managing club logistics, assisting with event planning (games, tournaments, socials), and serving as a key liaison between players, coaches, and the university’s athletic union. I also help oversee budgeting, sponsorship outreach, and communication strategies to enhance club visibility and engagement. This role has strengthened my leadership, organisational, and communication skills, while deepening my passion for team development and high-performance sport.
