Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

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.

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

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.

There is a lot to learn in the classroom, but nothing compares to putting your knowledge and skills to the test in the real world.

The biggest takeaway from this journey for me is that I know I have so many people who support me and will advocate for me, for Taiwanese, and for East Asians.

Coming from an energy and financial services background, I knew I needed to develop my functional skills further, regardless of my industry of choice.
