Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

We got involved with Net Impact because it was a community of like-minded individuals that we could learn from while gaining access to more relevant recruiting and professional resources.

Each role I held gave me a lesson that didn’t just prepare me for an MBA — it clarified why an MBA was the right next step.

I ultimately chose Fuqua to drive impact and change.

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.

Funding earned in the Fuqua Fast Pitch competition and CASE is supporting my entrepreneurial vision.

The entrepreneurial mindset is about recognizing real challenges coupled with a desire to solve those challenges and create a systematic approach to deliver a solution.

Being on the Kirby Selection Committee gave me a new perspective of scaling social enterprises and funding decisions.

I had this burning passion for combining my enthusiasm for community service with a career path.

How can business play a role to create a sustainable future? This is a question I had been asking myself when I worked in the climate change policy sector, prior to pursuing my MBA.

I knew I wanted to participate in the CASE i3 Consulting Practicum program, which pairs a team of select MBA students with an impact investing question that a company is wrestling with.
