ALEXA MAURO, VP CONFERENCE

What do you love about SWIB? SWIB members are always challenging the status quo, while also creating a space in which we all feel safe enough to do so.

Favorite SWIB Memory: Celebratory drinks with the conference committee after successfully hosting and (virtually) meeting such inspiring women!

Favorite part about Stern: The community and culture of collaboration and support. There were many moments during the first year of my MBA that felt overwhelming, but I never felt alone, and always felt I had several places to turn for help. It's already clear that many of these friends will be life-long.

Advice for women considering pursuing business school: Be authentic. Genuinely question what you want out of school, and where you want to go. Never doubt your ability to get there.

Fun Fact: I love cycling and have completed a couple international treks.
