Minerva is an accredited four-year global university program founded by a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and a Harvard dean to redefine higher education for the 21st century. Our 4 classes make a total of 600 students from over 70 countries who, during their degree, live in 7 cities — San Francisco, Seoul, Hyderabad, Berlin, Buenos Aires, London and Taipei. We immerse them in an integrated curriculum designed to teach them how to make decisions of consequence tackling today's global challenges.

Each Minerva class represents more than 50 countries, 60 languages, and 45 academic concentrations within five colleges. With a less than 2% acceptance rate, our diverse student body chose Minerva over other top-tier institutions to take advantage of a unique global rotation and a rigorous curriculum that is expressly designed to teach the core competencies – critical thinking, creative thinking, effective communication, and effective interaction.

I project managed a highly personalized Graduation for the class of 2020 (with pivot to virtual gathering given COVID-19), launched and defined the the alumni strategy, and oversaw non-academic programs for upperclassmen – helping students understand the local culture, learn from professionals in the city and connect as a community.

This has led me to host over 50 events with startups as well as Fortune 500 companies, governmental institutions and non-profits; that span from intimate conversations on the future of identity & values, to understanding the feminist movement in Argentina, to community feasts with over 100 students, concerts in public parks and city explorative experiences such as treasure hunts.
