Duke MQM Student Blog

From working in commercial finance at one of America’s leading multinational energy companies to getting first-hand experiential and immersive learning from the Strategy track of the MQM program, my decision to join Fuqua has undoubtedly been one of the best decisions I have made.

I was faced with the dilemma of choosing which track would be the best fit for me. As I read about the Forensics track, I was immediately drawn to it, as a good way to apply my interest in data analytics in a growing career field.

Strategy, finance, forensics, or marketing? This was the same question that troubled me as I went through the application process at Fuqua.

I wanted to know exactly how I could evaluate financial data with analytics tools, but I lacked finance knowledge.

A big reason as to why I chose the Master of Quantitative Management (MQM) program was the ability to dive deep into a particular area of business.

Here is a glimpse into the bits and pieces of my everyday life as a Master of Quantitative Management (MQM) student.

The Business Communicatio and Data Visualization classes helped me to spend more time thinking and practicing how to present data analytics results.

My Capstone Project was consulting for the Duke University Baseball team.

I have always been passionate about engaging in extracurricular activities and serving in whatever community I find myself.

The Spring Term 1 Master of Quantitative Management (MQM) Competition is a data visualization competition where students use data to communicate and analyze problems. Alongside my teammates, Yiqi He and Selina Zhou, I participated in the competition to explore racial disparity in the United States.
