Maria DaSilva

Before joining Ross, I spent several years working in the classical music industry, managing IT and facilities operations at Opera Philadelphia and later transitioning to fundraising and development with the Philadelphia Orchestra. I earned my B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania, where I majored in Music and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations.

I was drawn to Ross for its collaborative culture, hands-on learning through opportunities like simulation classes and MAP, and the strong sense of community. My career interests lie in strategy consulting, with a particular focus on the CPG sector. Outside of class, I take private voice lessons for credit—a unique opportunity at the university. I’m happy to connect if you’d like to learn more about balancing creative interests with business school.
