Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

Fuqua offered me a safe environment to take risks and move outside my comfort zone.

These experiences and learnings have not only prepared me for the business world but have also shaped me into a more resilient and empathetic individual.

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.

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

Passionate about the impact we could make in our respective fields, we came to Fuqua looking for meaningful opportunities to make a difference.

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

There is so much information available about universities and MBA programs that it can be a bit overwhelming.

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

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

The MBA, for me, is the perfect tool to become a better leader, to learn from the experiences of people from different industries and cultures, and to understand how the world is changing and transforming.
