Biography
Tell us about your career journey from being a student at King's to being in your current role.
After completing the International Management MSc at King’s, I joined Turner & Townsend as a Junior Sustainability Consultant.
Moving from studying to full-time work has been rewarding both personally and professionally. I’m grateful that throughout this transition and beyond, the King’s community has remained a constant—offering opportunities to grow my network through social and professional events. I especially valued the scholar events, which gave me the chance to learn from and connect with business leaders across diverse sectors.
What's the one thing you enjoy most about your current role?
Just one? That’s a tough ask when there are so many!
However, if I had to choose, it would be seeing the real-world impact our work has—on both people and the planet. Few moments are as rewarding as seeing your clients reach and exceed their sustainability goals, especially when you’ve supported them from day one.
What has been your biggest achievement in business and your career so far?
Building personal, trusting relationships with clients across sectors and industries.
How did your time at King's help with your career journey?
King’s helped me start my career in the management consulting industry. The International Management MSc pushed me to look at business from different angles—both in theory and practice. What stood out most was the emphasis on sustainability, cultural competence and working on an international scale. Bringing these elements to life through real-world case studies with academic and industry leaders was especially rewarding.
These factors, together with King’s renowned faculty, strong industry links, and global student community, made my time here irreplaceable.
