Christina’s MBA Qualifications
Open to working with clients outside the U.S.
I was a member of Consortium (CGSM), Forte, MLT (MBA Prep & PD), and Toigo. I can help candidates navigate applying to these fellowships and leverage getting the most out of each fellowship. I won a full scholarship to Michigan Ross through the Consortium, and I can help you navigate the Consortium application process. Here are the Consortium member schools: https://cgsm.org/member-schools/ As the first person in my family to graduate from college, I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed and confused by the MBA application process. It's a lot to do alone so let's do it together instead.

About Christina
🌎 I'm a Lead Product Manager at Deel, where I've scaled my products to $150M+ in ARR and am a people/hiring manager. 〽️ My clients have landed roles at Amazon, Microsoft, Nike, Zillow, Hulu, Tencent, Unity Games, Oracle, IBM, Dell, Tesla, Capital One, and others. They have also been accepted to HBS, MIT Sloan, Northwestern Kellogg, Columbia, and Michigan. 💰 I got my MBA from Michigan Ross on a full scholarship with MLT, Consortium, Forte, and Toigo fellowships. 🧰 Pre Deel, I spent time at Amazon, SimpliSafe, Bessemer, and the US Congress. 🔧 I particularly enjoy crafting nontraditional backgrounds into compelling stories for resumes, essays, and interviews. ❤️ I'm a Latina, Texan, and the first in my family to graduate from college. In 2021 I moved to Madrid, Spain where I work with a globally remote team.
Why do I coach?
In 2012 I became the first person in my family to graduate from college. Mentorship and coaching that I received during my MBA admissions process completely changed how I told my story, helping me get a full scholarship and pivot into the tech industry. I enjoy the challenge of pulling disparate experiences into a compelling story, strategically building applications, and preparing for interviews. Ultimately, education has been the great equalizer of opportunity in my life and that is why I coach.
