Sabrina’s MBA Qualifications
Hi, I'm Sabrina — a sustainability practitioner and career coach with a background in consulting, based in Toronto and now Berkeley. My path here has been anything but straight: I studied Finance and Accounting, completed five internships spanning audit at Deloitte and consumer fintech at PayPal, then spent three years at McKinsey building my consulting foundation. From there, I took a leap into mission-driven work as a Fellow at Conservation International, focused on ocean conservation finance. Now I'm pursuing a dual MBA and Master of Climate Solutions at UC Berkeley, navigating the sustainability space in real time — which means I know firsthand what it takes to break in, stand out, and build a career with both impact and trajectory. Since college, I've been passionate about helping people find work they're genuinely excited to wake up for. I've been in the thick of tough career decisions myself, and I'd love to help you navigate yours.
