Why do you want to study your chosen course? 

This industry and market diversity present in my professional trajectory provided me with the  ability to adapt across different business cultures and leadership styles. As I am always  seeking to grow and develop, I constantly challenge ways of working and, most importantly, my personal approaches to business discussions. Now I want to bring this skillset to the next  level.  

Working in fast moving environments, the ability to manoeuvre through uncertainty is key.  Through this course I am aiming to acquire analytical toolsets that will make me more effective  in bringing innovative solutions and harness soft skills that would enable me to navigate and  bring value to my organization.

What are you hoping it will lead to? 

Since I started working in finance, my career goal was and remains to professionally pursue growth to achieve my lifelong aspiration to hold a CFO role within a multinational company. Experiencing Chicago Booth EMBA will provide me with the knowledge and the enriching exchanges with peers and faculty members that will help me to accelerate my career. I am confident it will strengthen my foundation skills to achieve my professional ambition. 

Why did you apply to the scholarship? 

Chicago Booth and the 30% Club partnered to offer this scholarship to support high potential  female students. I was fortunate to be granted to this award and be part of the 30% Club, among other amazing female candidates.  

I know this award carries many opportunities and responsibilities. and feel confident to strive  for them. Most important is to define how I will carry this accomplishment forth in my career,  and how can I support others in building their own path. 

What encouragement would you give to anyone considering applying for a 30% Club  scholarship? 

I believe it is an accomplishment to be admitted into a leading business school and gain the  opportunity to advance one’s career.  

I have no doubt that all admitted candidates can rely on their own strengths and have the  confidence to work for their professional and personal aspirations. Applying to become part of  the 30% Club is a major step towards achieving them as it will provide the opportunity to be  part of initiatives on career advancement and enhance networking & exchanging opportunities.
