Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

For those who can dream, and those with a strong support system, there is no place such as far away.

The Team Fuqua spirit is what continues to drive my connections with my classmates, professors, colleagues, and current Fuqua students.

Dreaming is simple, but fear and discomfort often set in when turning our dreams into reality.

While I initially struggled to build a strong community at Fuqua, I eventually found my home here.

After just a few months of working with my team, I’ve learned how to embrace other’s differences to make a strong team.

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

Now that I had established consulting as my clear recruiting direction, I decided to work diligently on three fronts related to the interview process: case interviews, behavioral interviews, and mental preparedness.

When I got my admission to Fuqua, I was not even considering becoming a consultant. To be honest, I did not even know what a consultant does.

No matter where you are on the rollercoaster ride of an MBA, the Fuqua community is always there to support you.

While I credit the institution for providing numerous leadership opportunities, my classmates are the ones who have encouraged me to pursue those opportunities.
