Hi everyone!As we wrap up the spring semester, I’m excited to share with you one of the coolest experiences you’ll have during your time at Fisher College of Business - the Finance Consulting Practicum (FCP). What exactly is the FCP? In simple terms, it’s the ultimate crossover between what you learn in class and the real deal of corporate America.

As March draws to a close, I'm steadily approaching the end of this incredible journey at Fisher College of Business. This month has been truly amazing, starting with Spring Break week, which was much needed for reflection and rethinking where I'm headed now that graduation is so close. Networking has become a daily activity, and I genuinely enjoy it. Additionally, I used the time to prioritize our end-of-course project with my group, which focuses on Private Equity Real Estate—a topic that's truly fascinating. I'll share more about this in another post!

Spring semester session 2 is kicking off in the Specialized Master in Finance, and graduation is just around the corner. Excitement levels are through the roof! As I mentioned in previous posts, a case competition was on the horizon for me, and guess what? The moment has arrived.MBA KeyBank Case CompetitionThis past weekend, from February 23rd to 25th, I had the opportunity to head to Cleveland, specifically to KeyTower (KeyBank's HQ), to compete in the 20th MBA KeyBank Case Competition organized by Ohio State University.

Goodbye to 2023! A year of significant changes for me, filled with emotions and decisions that will leave a lasting impact on my professional journey. Application deadlines for the program are close, so, in this post, I want to reflect and take you through my story—my experience applying for the Specialized Master in Finance at Fisher.Choosing to pursue a master's degree is definitely not a walk in the park; it involves dedicating time to finding the right program, exploring universities, dealing with paperwork, and, most significantly, stepping out of our comfort zones.

December has arrived, and I´m approaching halfway on my SMF journey! As I've shared in my previous posts, this semester has been truly incredible. From networking with top alumni currently working at firms like JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, EY, etc., to being selected as part of the SMF Student Council, to traveling to Las Vegas to represent Fisher College of Business at Prospanica, the largest conference for Latino professionals in the USA!Core Capstone ProjectThis week marks a new addition to my journey here at Fisher—the much-anticipated presentation of the Core Capstone final project.
