Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

I have always been very curious about the skills I would need for a career in private equity, but I came to Fuqua with very little knowledge of the field.

After talking with Fuqua faculty, I knew the dual MEM/MBA degree at Duke University was the perfect place for me to dive deep into the blue economy.

As an international student living in the U.S. for the first time, it was really challenging to recruit for a job as the process was new to me.

It happened every time. Almost intuitively, as I walked into a packed room of investment banking prospects, I immediately knew exactly how many other women were present. You could usually count us on one hand.

Every student interested in technology asks the same question: “Should I have a tech background to work in the industry?” And the answer is “No!”

What’s the one tool that every entrepreneur, from Elon Musk to Muhammad Yunis to the 10- year-old girl next door selling lemonade, utilizes on a near-constant basis?

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.

I believe that an MBA will provide access to valuable resources and a support ecosystem that will fuel my success as an entrepreneur.

At Fuqua, there's no shortage of avenues for support when it comes to academics, career, and new opportunities to stretch yourself. The Duke MBA Marketing Club is a great example.
