When I reflect on my journey of career transition, I realize that the HSM program at Fuqua has been instrumental in preparing me to take the jump into health care innovation.

My Fuqua journey has been transformative so far—both in and outside the classroom.

For anyone who is considering a business degree and feels concerned about their “nontraditional” path, I’d urge you to change your thinking.

Reflecting back on my recruiting journey so far, I am extremely grateful for the endless support I’ve received and the abundant opportunities Fuqua has given me to pursue my career goals.

Time moves swiftly when career advancement, international exposure, and fun all compete to be at the core of the MBA experience. So, please put on your seatbelts, and let me take you on a quick 2-year journey.

Coming from an energy and financial services background, I knew I needed to develop my functional skills further, regardless of my industry of choice.

I knew that when I embarked on the journey to pursue an MBA, evaluating the energy balance would be a critical part of my decision.

Growing up in a small town with limited resources, I never had many opportunities to explore leadership roles or discover my full potential. But that changed when I came to Fuqua.

I always wanted to launch my own media relations and marketing business. Fuqua gave me the tools and the community I needed.

Back when I was applying to Fuqua, I remember there was an essay portion asking you to describe your 5-year and 10-year ambitions.
