After having graduated from Rosenberg with the Swiss Matura in 2005, I moved to London and completed a BA (hons) in International Business and a MSc in Banking and Finance. I have subsequently started working in the finance industry, most recently within the CEO Strategy Team of the Barclays Bank (Wealth and Investment Management Division).
The people I have met. Some of my closest friends today are those that I have met during my time at Rosenberg.
Zurich – this is where I feel ‘home away from home’. Although Zurich as a city offers a real buzz, you are still able to spend your time actively outdoors (e.g. on the lake) and the mountains are just a short drive away.
Somewhere in the mountains; there are plenty of great locations in Switzerland as well as other countries. I find that these are the places where I am able to relax the most.
Peru. It offers so many natural and cultural treasures that have fascinated people for hundreds of years. I would love to experience its culture and history, to see its natural diversity and to meet its people.
Believe in yourself, make the most out of your time in school - socialize, travel, learn how to play tennis/ski/snowboard, meet other students. Also, don’t forget that there are many nationalities on campus, which makes it easy to pick up different languages.
I am inspired by my parents. They are ambitious and determined and they never give up. My parents have worked hard and have provided me with everything I could ever wish for. They are always there for me to guide and support me in everything I do.
My family and friends - I wouldn’t have been able to become the person I am today without their support. I am very lucky to have them in my life.
I am planning to pursue a career in strategy and just took a new job with a one of the leading strategy consulting companies in London. Besides work, I plan to continue traveling and exploring different cultures.
To learn to live is to learn to enjoy your life ‘in the moment’ and to have a positive outlook on the future, no matter what the current circumstances are. I believe that ultimately this kind of attitude is what will make one feel happy.
