“Is an MBA worth it” is one of the most searched keywords related to business school.

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.

Experiential learning provides a great platform to interact with and potentially help solve real-world problems as a business school student.

I knew I wanted to participate in the CASE i3 Consulting Practicum program, which pairs a team of select MBA students with an impact investing question that a company is wrestling with.

The Mentored Study program at Duke’s Fuqua School of Business provided the perfect fit for me to further explore my previous experience in venture capital in a real-world work setting while gaining exposure to the tech industry.

Global Week is an event celebrating Fuqua’s international diversity and inclusivity, and typically it’s a great opportunity for Fuqua students to showcase their home cultures and interact with alumni with international backgrounds.

Companies from different industries come to Fuqua’s campus with fascinating challenges, so I was very intentional when handpicking just a few of them to participate in, focusing on gaining exposure to industries I was genuinely interested in.
