Work

Four years of it,
week in and week out.

These are the roles I actually turn up for, most of them every week since I arrived at Le Rosey. None of them look like much written down. Together they are where I learned everything the research and the foundation now rest on.

At Le Rosey

Four roles.

2022/26

Well-being Ambassador

A trained peer supporter. In practice it means being the person a classmate tries first, and knowing exactly when something has got bigger than a conversation and needs a counsellor. Four years of learning to listen without immediately being useful.

2023/26

President, Psychology Club

Sessions that take the year group past the syllabus and argue properly about the fundamentals of psychology and mental wellbeing. Running it is how the interest turned into a discipline.

2024/26

Women in STEM, lead

Bringing women working in STEM onto campus to talk. The useful ones describe the obstacles honestly, which is the point of asking them.

2022/26

Cultural fêtes

Diwali, Holi and Halloween for the junior classes. Belonging gets built at parties as much as it does in circles, which is not a throwaway line: it is most of why these are on this page at all.

Todo Women in STEM has its photograph. The other three roles are still on placeholders and every slot above states what it is for. Anything landscape and reasonably lit will do. Fewer than three per role is fine, the row simply gets shorter. Two EduFest photographs have arrived but are not placed, because nothing on this site says what EduFest is or what her part in it was; tell me and they go in.

Internships

Learning how it is actually done.

  • Summer 2025MITdesignX and Le Rosey accelerator. Intern with Même Pas Peur, a Swiss startup working on childhood disease. I came back the following round to help screen the next intake of startups and interns.
  • Summer 2025KLE Hospital, India. Shadowed the medical director of a 4,500 bed hospital. Care, logistics and money, and how the three of them argue with each other at scale in rural India.
  • 2025/26IMD leadership programme. Foundations of entrepreneurship.
  • 2026 · Le RoseySocial venture programme. A venture recycling PET plastic into furniture. The pitch raised CHF 1,500 in seed backing.
