Looking back on your experience, what advice would you give to future business school applicants? Knock out the GMAT or GRE as early as possible so that you have time to focus on your school visits, applications and interviews later. Invest time and money into visiting all the schools you are considering, and focus on schools in regions you envision yourself living post-MBA.

What led you to choose this program for your full-time MBA? I selected Goizueta because its small class size and collaborative approach create an environment where I will have the courage to take risks and grow as a professional and individual. In addition, Goizueta is 20 minutes east of Downtown Atlanta; far enough to allow me to focus on my MBA experience, but close enough to give me quick access to many of the world’s top companies.

Tell us about your dream job or dream employer at this point in your life? I enjoy helping people solve problems. I envision myself serving as a trusted advisor for corporations to help them reach their financial goals and create value for their owners/shareholders, customers, consumers and communities they operate in.

What would you like your business school peers to say about you after you graduate from this program? I would be happy if my peers said that I cared about their success because I helped them one way or another and that I cook the best Mexican food.
