Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

The highlight of our FCCP experience was undeniably the strong collaboration and mutual support that empowered us to tackle complex business challenges as a unified team.

Looking back, this trip was the ideal way to close out my first month at Duke.

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.

For those who can dream, and those with a strong support system, there is no place such as far away.

Fuqua offered me a safe environment to take risks and move outside my comfort zone.

These experiences and learnings have not only prepared me for the business world but have also shaped me into a more resilient and empathetic individual.

Embarking on an enriching MBA trip during my second year at Fuqua taught me about leadership, organization and personal growth.

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.

Dreaming is simple, but fear and discomfort often set in when turning our dreams into reality.

Passionate about the impact we could make in our respective fields, we came to Fuqua looking for meaningful opportunities to make a difference.
