M1 Challenges mirror the fast-paced, analytical problem-solving I aim to master. Modules like Decision & Data Modelling, paired with Diversity & Inclusiveness, align with both my consulting goals and my interest in building equitable organisations.

In M2, the 10-week Business Project, working on a live strategic brief and presenting to top management, is an ideal introduction to European consulting culture. Firm-led workshops within Strategic Management will give me exposure to top firms, and business simulations like GlobStrat offer a safe environment to practise high-stakes decision-making. Finally, HEC's alumni events, career coaching, and mentorship make the transition into consulting structured, supported, and globally oriented.
