Tell us about your career so far

I have over five years of professional experience across AI-driven information services and real estate. My work has focused on project management, operations delivery, vendor coordination, and stakeholder management. I have led cross-functional teams, managed commercial build-out projects, and supported the delivery of AI-based conversational chatbot solutions. I am PMP-certified and have consistently worked in structured, fast-paced environments requiring strong planning, communication, and execution skills.

Why did you choose to study an MBA at the University of Birmingham?

I chose the University of Birmingham because of its strong academic reputation, practical MBA curriculum, and clear focus on developing well-rounded, responsible leaders. The emphasis on consulting, strategy, and real-world projects appealed to me, as did the diverse international cohort. Birmingham Business School’s industry connections, career support, and its position as a Russell Group university were important factors in my decision.

What are your career aspirations after completing the MBA?

In the short term, I aim to transition into management consulting, where I can work on complex business problems and gain broad exposure across industries. In the long term, I aspire to build and lead scalable businesses, taking on senior leadership roles or founding my own venture. My goal is to combine strategic thinking with strong execution to create sustainable impact across markets.
