McKinsey, Bank of England, KPMG Experience | Oxford Economist
Hello and welcome! I hold dual Master’s degrees from the University of Oxford—an MBA and a Master’s in Public Policy—as well as a First Class Honours degree in Economics from the University of Cape Town. My academic and professional journey has equipped me with the tools to guide students through competitive admissions processes. At McKinsey & Company and KPMG, I developed expertise in strategic problem-solving and effective communication, which I now bring to my coaching practice. Having personally navigated rigorous admissions requirements and co-founded a student chapter of Effective Altruism, I understand how to highlight unique strengths and craft applications that stand out. Whether you need to refine a personal statement or map out a clear admissions strategy, I’m here to provide actionable, tailored support to help you succeed.
