I didn’t take a straight path to my MBA, and that’s exactly what makes me a strong candidate. I’m a mom and a real estate entrepreneur who’s learned how to build things from the ground up. My life goals are centered around creating financial independence not just for myself, but for my family, while building businesses that are both profitable and meaningful. Long term, I want to step into real estate private equity, where I can operate at a larger scale and create opportunities for others. What I’m most passionate about is building systems that make life better, whether that’s creating exceptional guest experiences in the STR world, helping people find homes, or advocating for animals through rescue work. I care deeply about doing things well and treating people fairly, whether they’re clients or the teams I work with. I’m a great candidate because I don’t just pursue goals, I execute. I’ve managed properties, handled difficult situations with professionalism, and learned how to solve problems quickly because I’ve had to. Becoming a parent sharpened that even more. My time matters now in a way it never did before, and I use it intentionally. Getting my MBA isn’t just the next step for me, it’s a strategic investment in scaling everything I’ve already started. I’m not figuring out what I want to do, I’m building toward it.
