Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

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

It is evident to me that returning to Fuqua feels like coming back to a second home—a place where I am known, valued, and supported.

While Fuqua offers a wealth of diversity, it has also given me a space to reconnect and support my Latinx peers.

When applying to business schools last year, it seemed like most of the schools were very similar, but a campus visit helped me understand Fuqua's values.

Because of the sense of community Fuqua generates, successful alumni aim to give back.

Funding earned in the Fuqua Fast Pitch competition and CASE is supporting my entrepreneurial vision.

The entrepreneurial mindset is about recognizing real challenges coupled with a desire to solve those challenges and create a systematic approach to deliver a solution.

The value of business school truly is your network. And in building that network you must become skilled at telling your personal journey, your background, and your story.

I found many exciting and compelling opportunities to develop professional skills and abilities through experiential learning.

My decision to pursue an MBA at Duke came during a critical moment in March 2020, working on the frontlines of the pandemic as a nurse in a makeshift intensive care unit for COVID patients.
