Maya Coaxum, aVP admissions

Why did you join SWIB? I wanted to be a part of a community of women that I knew would not only be a personal and professional support system, but also wanted to make Stern a more inclusive, equitable place for all women.

Favorite part about Stern: The people (both current students and alumni) are incredibly supportive, and the opportunities for career exploration are endless.

Advice for women considering pursuing business school: The application process can be long, so it's easy for imposter syndrome to creep up. However, don't let that stop you from applying! Remembering why you want to pursue your MBA, and that everyone comes from varied career experiences (take it from someone coming from the manufacturing industry) can be a great way to ground yourself.

Fun Fact: I threw out the first pitch at a Philadelphia Phillies game!
