Biography
Goizueta’s IMPACT360 program is a unique, hands-on experience specifically designed for MBA students. When Corina Bravo 22FTMBA was looking for a program that offered experiential learning, Goizueta’s IMPACT360 program checked all of her boxes. “As part of the admissions process, I attended the Showcase Day of IMPACT360 and was impressed with the caliber of the companies they worked on,” she said.
IMPACT360 has been Corina’s favorite class throughout her time at Goizueta, as she had the opportunity to work with a multinational company. She helped the company work through and find solutions for a specific business issue. “I learned to manage clients, break down problems, analyze and visualize data, and prepare well-sounded recommendations,” she said. “I also had support from amazing faculty participating in the program that have served as mentors during my time in business school.”
Corina is also a program-platform lead for the IMPACT360 board, allowing her to work closely with faculty as they collaborated over the semester. “They have become mentors and been able to connect me to top executives in companies for me to network or teach me about doing business in graduate school,” she said.
Being on the IMPACT360 board is just one of the many leadership opportunities Corina has had during her time in the program. Because of Goizueta’s smaller class sizes, students have the ability to participate in a variety of clubs, jobs, leadership positions etc. “I didn’t know that Goizueta was a smaller-size program compared to others, which allowed students many opportunities to acquire leadership roles,” she said. “I was surprised about how important the size of the program is for success. I know every one of the students in my class, and I have a very strong network for support that helped me be successful in consulting recruiting.”
As an international student, Corina doesn’t have family or friends close by outside of her Goizueta network. She hopes her strong community will continue to support her in the future. “I hope Goizueta continues to give me access to opportunities to reinvent myself as years go by,” she said. “Whether it’s as an executive or entrepreneur, I know the Goizueta network will be there to support my endeavors.”
