Caroline Diarte Edwards
Malvina always gets rave reviews from her MBA admissions coaching clients at Fortuna Admissions - she’s hugely appreciated for her extensive insight into the MBA admissions process at the top business schools, as well as her extremely thorough approach to working with her clients. She leaves no stone unturned in the process of coaching her clients to figure out how to best present themselves in the highly competitive MBA admissions process. Clients consistently comment on Malvina’s supportive coaching style, her enthusiasm and optimism which helps them to tackle the daunting application process with confidence. She has a long roster of successful clients who have been lucky enough to gain admission to the most selective schools on the planet!

Malvina is the consummate admissions and career counseling professional. I have had the amazing good fortune to have worked with her at Fortuna since we started the company and not a day goes by that I am not exceedingly grateful to know her. In addition to her unparalleled experience at HBS, Malvina's in depth understanding of the MBA career and admissions landscape is pretty much unparalleled, as is her client engagement dedication. Her client checkins are so thorough, and she dedicates her entire focus to them--- It is not infrequent for me to get early morning texts from her explaining that her client just sent over a draft for review, she was waiting up to receive it, evaluate it and comment- all to help the client to move forward! Malvina's grace under pressure is impossible to replicate; even when she is faced with last minute requests from clients about everything from resume details to missing recommendation letters, she calmly and thoughtfully puts concerns to rest- allowing the client to focus on their very best presentation. Her application successes are detailed in the many many positive reviews we receive monthly on her behalf- and I have learned so much myself- not only from what she does but how she does it. A star. I cannot imagine Fortuna without Malvina!
