I am originally from the Netherlands but made the big decision to move to the United States to attend college at the age of 17. This is because in the U.S. there is a phenomenal opportunity to combine a high level of academics with a high level of athletics.
I completed my undergraduate degree in management consulting and marketing at Lehigh University while being a member of the field hockey team. To pursue my fifth year of eligibility, I decided to take another big leap. This past year, I have been a part of the MMS program at the Fuqua School of Business and have been a member of Duke’s field hockey team.
One of the most rewarding elements of the MMS program was the opportunity to meet a whole new group of students, athletes, professors, and more. At Fuqua, everyone comes with a handful of other experiences which makes it that much more fun to learn from each other.
Post Fuqua, I will be starting a job as a marketing consultant trainee at ABN AMRO in the Netherlands.
