I also founded the UBS Film Society, a club which now has over 100 members.

Investment banking is a very exciting industry, but it can also be quite intense and at times, taxing. I find that having gone to the Maharishi School and practised TM and the TM Sidhi programme I have been given a foundation that allows me to function more effectively in the high-pressure situations that I often find myself in. It also gives me perspective, and nourishes all those other aspects of my life that remain so important to me.’

‘I am a professional Jazz trumpet player/ composer and arranger. I have toured the world playing jazz music in places such as: Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Australia, America, Russia, France and Italy.

I found the time I spent at the Maharishi School gave me confidence and belief in myself. The teachers were amazing and gave me so much support: within a year of arriving at the school my grades went from E’s to A*s, B’s and C’s. It was one of the best periods in my life so far!’

After graduating from the Maharishi School, I went on to study Computing at Imperial College London, before joining UBS Investment Bank. At UBS I have had the opportunity to work on a broad range of transactions, spanning corporate acquisitions, IPOs and financing transactions, ranging in size from £100 million to over £3 billion.

‘Following the completion of a Bsc (Hons) in Genetics (1st class) at the University of Manchester, I am now reading for a PhD in Biochemistry, conducting research into the biosynthesis of complex proteins with Professor High. I attended the Maharishi School for my entire school life

and found the experience to be absolutely life-defining. It is a school unlike any other and provided me with the broad and open-minded education that enabled me to embark on a successful scientific career. More that this however, my time at the Maharishi School helped to frame my appreciation of life and showed me where to look for happiness - I wouldn’t change a day of it.’
