H@H: Ep. 54 – On this week’s episode of Here@Haas, Ray talks with Sarah Schilling (FTMBA 21) from ESADE, one of Berkeley’s partner schools for a virtual exchange this term. We talk about her interaction with Haas students and faculty, and how both ESADE and Haas share a penchant for entrepreneurship and collaboration. Sarah also mentions her extracurricular involvement within her class and how she fosters a strong culture of women leadership at ESADE.

Quotes

Comparing Berkeley & ESADE: “At Berkeley you cover different varieties of subjects - so you go much more into concepts in general. At ESADE we went a bit more in depth.”

“I think a similarity of ESADE and Berkeley is a focus on the entrepreneurial side and on founding companies and finding your own […] individual way.”

On her proudest moment throughout the MBA: “I was able to help more than 40 students in my class and also in the incoming cohort to practice for interviews. Being awarded with that trust and being one of these go-to people to ask for advice has really been an honor.”
