Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

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.

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.

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.

From being exposed to varying cultures to opening doors to new industries, my time at Fuqua has shown me that the world is filled with more opportunities than I thought.
