Duke Master of Management Studies Student Blog

I am from Greenville, South Carolina, and majored in music at Furman University. I am interested in pursuing a career in the media and entertainment industries, specifically in music with a marketing focus. I'm also an entrepreneur, and recently founded a nonprofit organization called Leaders Gift. I plan on moving to New York City after graduating from the MMS: FOB program, and in addition to music I am passionate about traveling, martial arts, publishing my writings, and working on my 7-page bucket list. I started blogging on my own about the program even before it started, and I am so excited about continuing to share what life as an MMS student is like!
