Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

Reflecting on my journey during my first year at Fuqua, I am grateful for the experiences and opportunities that challenged me and shaped my career path.

The CASE i3 Consulting Program was an extremely valuable experience to learn about capital allocation and impact management and measurement.

I aimed to pivot from consulting to marketing, which I was successfully able to do. However, an MBA at Fuqua not only facilitated this transition but allowed me to explore alternative career interests, such as venture capital.

I am grateful for learning opportunities like having guest speakers in class and attending conferences to hear from the world’s foremost thought leaders tackling the world’s greatest climate problems.

When I was applying to business schools, I knew that one of the main reasons I was getting an MBA was to pivot into marketing.

When I reflect on my journey of career transition, I realize that the HSM program at Fuqua has been instrumental in preparing me to take the jump into health care innovation.

I never imagined that my time at Duke would end with talking about pressing climate issues with the president of a major energy company, a U.S. senator, and the CEO of a climate accelerator all in one week.

Reflecting back on my recruiting journey so far, I am extremely grateful for the endless support I’ve received and the abundant opportunities Fuqua has given me to pursue my career goals.
