Tracy’s journey

I was born and raised in China and relocated to Hong Kong to pursue my undergraduate studies. I received a bachelors degree in business analysis, which encompassed a diverse range of subjects including statistics, big data analysis, and business. Prior to the Cambridge Master of Finance programme, I spent 3 years working at PwC in Hong Kong. Initially, I began my career in management consulting, but my passion for green finance led me to transfer to the climate and sustainability advisory team. In this role, I focused on climate risk management and sustainability strategies for financial institutions.

The Cambridge MFin programme held a strong appeal to me due to its post-experience nature and its specific focus on finance. Unlike many pre-experience finance masters programmes, all MFin participants possess a minimum of 2 years of professional experience in various finance sectors. What sets Cambridge apart is its ability to offer a wide array of programmes, attract an international and diverse student body, and boast a rich historical background. This experience differs from that of a traditional business school, which tends to concentrate solely on the commercial realm.

During my time on the MFin programme, I had the opportunity to undertake a summer internship in sustainable finance at Morgan Stanley in London. Upon completing my degree, I aspire to secure an investment-focused position that emphasises sustainability. The City Speaker Series and Group Consulting Project on the Cambridge MFin have enabled me to establish connections with professionals in the field of sustainable investing and have facilitated a smooth transition into this area.
