Maria’s MBA Qualifications

Maria has helped clients get into these schools:

Hi there! My name is Maria Curry, and I'm a recent graduate from Harvard Business School. Prior to HBS, I graduated from the dual-degree Huntsman Program at the University of Pennsylvania (Wharton & the College), where I studied Finance and International Studies, with a minor in Spanish. After undergrad, I worked in investment banking at Morgan Stanley and later in growth equity as an investor in the tech sector. At HBS, I explored my passion for the entertainment and media industry, interning at Prime Video for the summer, and have recently joined a sports ownership group for full-time in a strategy role. As someone who has attended two highly selective educational institutions and pursued an early career in traditional finance roles before transitioning into the media, entertainment, and sports industry, I'm happy to help YOU at every stage of the MBA admissions process - from building your initial school list and providing advice on essay writing, to strengthening your overall application and weighing your final offers - as well as with broader career navigation. Feel free to sign-up for some time!

Why do I coach?

As someone who was not exposed to the world of finance prior to college, I appreciated the friends and mentors who served as critical resources to me as I navigated the recruiting process. When deciding to apply for MBA programs, again, colleagues and coaches provided the support I needed to land acceptances into my dream schools. Over the years, I've found joy in being able to give back whether through teaching as a formal tutor to other students at Harvard Business School, or providing guidance on MBA applications and career guidance to young professionals. I'd love to be a resource on your educational or professional journey!
