Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

Fuqua offered me a safe environment to take risks and move outside my comfort zone.

Your Fuqua experience is all about what you put into it.

To become a leader capable of helping others achieve their high aspirations, I knew I would have to show up, engage, and interact.

While I credit the institution for providing numerous leadership opportunities, my classmates are the ones who have encouraged me to pursue those opportunities.

Throughout my leadership journey, I realized that true leadership is not about personal achievements or recognition, but about amplifying the voices of others.

Growing up in a small town with limited resources, I never had many opportunities to explore leadership roles or discover my full potential. But that changed when I came to Fuqua.

A concern for diversity, equity and inclusion issues is embedded in Fuqua’s DNA. For students, it shows up in both their curriculum and co-curricular activities.

I came to Duke’s Fuqua School of Business with the goal of building out my strategy skillset.

I had this burning passion for combining my enthusiasm for community service with a career path.

The languages I speak, as well as my reflections on home and borders, is what led me to pursue an MBA at Fuqua.
