Business School
Maria Boukouraki,
Greece
Maria Boukouraki is a Greek-American student who graduated from LSBF in 2010 with a Masters in Business (MIB). Studying at LSBF gave her the flexibility to gain a degree through GGSB without having to leave her job in London. Maria graduated from LSBF and is now working as a part-time Real Estate Consultant in Virginia. She is enjoying the flexibility of her new role and is using her experience of working in such a multicultural environment as LSBF to take the initiative and use the numerous contacts that she made around the world during her studies. “I chose LSBF because it was the official campus of GGSB in the UK. Since I was working in London I didn’t want to move to France. During my studies, I made friendships and business connections all over the world, from Thailand to Russia, Brazil to Turkey. “The team projects and overall experience of being part of a multicultural atmosphere, has made the transition to the working world - liaising with international people and maintaining contacts around the world – extremely easy.” What's your advice for new students? Apply for jobs before you graduate – be organised and apply as early as possible.
