Caterina Brescia, aVP marketing

Why did you join SWIB? I joined SWIB because I am passionate about empowering women and I wanted to continue doing that in a formal role. I was also excited to be part of one of the biggest clubs on campus!

Favorite part about Stern: Definitely the people. I am a part of the Fashion & Luxury MBA program where I have met so many smart and talented students. They are not only trying to grow themselves professionally, but are willing to lend a hand and support me while I do the same.

Advice for women considering pursuing business school: Don’t be afraid to reach out to current students or alumni to learn more about the programs that you are interested in. You’ll learn so much about the NYU culture by speaking with students.

Fun Fact: Most of the roles I have held have been in women-owned or women-run businesses!
