Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

Originally from New Orleans, I went to undergrad at Washington University in St. Louis, and have lived and worked in seven cities. Dublin and Washington, D,C., are my top two.

I have passions for digital marketing, mentorship, and international travel. I’ve worked at not-for-profit organizations my entire career, and have been a Big Brother to a now-teenager for the last six years. True to my undergraduate English major, I’m an avid reader and love to talk books: my favorite is “The Razor’s Edge” by W. Somerset Maugham.

I went to Fuqua to hone my team management skills before going back into digital marketing, and it proved immensely helpful.
