"I am an MBA candidate at Columbia Business School, where I serve as VP of Admissions for the Hispanic Business Association. In this role, I have gained valuable insights into the MBA admissions process, helping prospective students navigate the complexities of applying to top business programs. My academic success, as a Dean’s List student and recipient of prestigious scholarships such as the Isabel Villafuerte Scholarship, has further strengthened my understanding of how to craft applications that highlight both academic achievements and personal stories.

My professional experience as a Summer Associate at Bain & Company has honed my skills in strategic communication and storytelling—key elements of a successful MBA application. At Bain, I helped clients simplify complex problems and present compelling, data-driven solutions. I bring this same structured approach to MBA admissions, guiding applicants in articulating their career goals and crafting cohesive narratives across their essays, resumes, and interviews. I understand how to help candidates differentiate themselves and align their experiences with the values and expectations of top business schools.

As a Career Management Center (CMC) Fellow at Columbia, I have also coached first-year students on career strategy and interview preparation, providing personalized feedback to help them succeed. This role has given me extensive experience working one-on-one with students, understanding their individual strengths, and tailoring my coaching approach to meet their needs. Whether brainstorming essay ideas, polishing resumes, or preparing for admissions interviews, I offer a balanced approach that combines analytical rigor with empathetic guidance, ensuring each student feels confident and prepared throughout the application process." less...
