Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

I served as director of admissions from 2010 until 2014, and I’m a 2003 graduate of Fuqua’s Daytime MBA program.

I earned my bachelor’s in psychology from Cornell University in 1997, and spent my early career in consulting, working for PricewaterhouseCoopers and Deloitte Consulting. After completing my MBA, I took a role in Brunswick Corporation’s Leadership Development Program, where I also led the MBA recruiting effort at Duke. This ongoing relationship with The Duke MBA program is what ultimately drew me back to Durham, where I held both the director of operations and then the director of admissions roles for all Fuqua MBA and MMS programs.

In my spare time I am a triathlete, a certified spinning instructor and an avid baker. I love to spend free time with a book on a boat.
