What started as a consulting project quickly turned into an immersive experience full of coffee, conversations, and a whole lot of Southern hospitality.

This opportunity was a pivotal experience to leverage my global professional background and test my career ambitions in an impactful, real-world context.

As a second-year student, I’ve approached this chapter of my journey with intentionality, striving to maximize all the unique opportunities this experience has to offer.

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.

When I was applying to business schools, I knew that one of the main reasons I was getting an MBA was to pivot into marketing.
