Amy Hernadez Turcios (HBS, ‘20) grew up in a low-income neighborhood and was the first in her family to go to college. Growing up, she didn’t know anyone who worked on Wall Street, went to Wharton, or attended HBS, but despite those odds, found her way to all three of those places. Now an HBS Graduate, Amy is off to her post-MBA career in management consulting as well as kicking off her own venture, Haz Ruido. During this interview, Amy shared her personal story and journey to Wall Street, and HBS, as well as her aspirations and vision for Haz Ruido. Follow Amy on IG at @hazruidoamy
