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.

I am grateful for learning opportunities like having guest speakers in class and attending conferences to hear from the world’s foremost thought leaders tackling the world’s greatest climate problems.

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.
