In the second half of the year, you will be completing an Academy devoted to areas like Marketing, Finance, Operations, Digital Enterprises and more. Which Academy interests you the most and why?
I’m most excited about the Business Marketing Academy because it offers the perfect mix of strategy, creativity, and hands-on experience. As someone looking to move into product management, I see it as a great way to sharpen my understanding of customer insight, positioning, and go-to-market strategy. I’m especially drawn to the real-world projects and mentorship, which I know will help me connect the dots between business needs and product decisions.

At the beginning of the school year, you will be completing Me, Inc., where you will engage in reflections and exercises to build your personal brand? In one sentence, describe your personal brand and how will it add value to the classmates and future employers?  I’m a strategic and results-driven professional who leads with efficiency, creativity, and integrity—bringing clarity to complex problems, building trust within teams, and delivering impact that drives both business and personal growth.

Aside from your classmates, what was the key part of Indiana Kelley’s MBA programming that led you to choose this business school and why was it so important to you? Aside from my classmates, what truly made Kelley stand out was the combination of its supportive culture and the Me, Inc. program. From the beginning, Kelley prioritizes helping you understand your goals and build your personal brand, all within a community that’s genuinely willing to support one another. That early structure—paired with a strong, accessible alumni network—gave me confidence that I’d grow both personally and professionally, while being surrounded by people who want to see each other succeed.

What course, club or activity excites you the most at Indiana Kelley? I’m most excited about joining the Technology Management Club. As I pivot into product management, I’m looking forward to the club’s hands-on workshops, exposure to emerging technologies, and opportunities to collaborate with peers who are just as passionate about tech and innovation. It’s a great way to strengthen my technical fluency, connect classroom concepts to real-world trends, and grow within a supportive, like-minded community.

Looking at your recruitment, what was the moment when you realized Indiana Kelley was the right program for you? Why? Even after being admitted to several strong MBA programs, it wasn’t until I visited Kelley during Experience Weekend that everything truly clicked. The way students, staff, and alumni showed up—with honesty, openness, and a real willingness to help—made me feel like I belonged. That sense of community wasn’t just something they talked about; it was something I experienced firsthand. In that moment, I knew this was the place where I’d be supported, challenged, and able to grow both personally and professionally.

What has been your biggest achievement in your career? My biggest career achievement was designing a five-year innovation pipeline for a top-tier LATAM food brand, expanding its portfolio by 600% and securing regional leadership. I also led 20+ person teams on innovation projects for 18+ LATAM/global brands and oversaw the brand and digital transformation of a 200+ store retailer, boosting revenue per client by 1,000%. These experiences taught me how to turn strategy into execution and scale ideas into measurable business impact.
