MQM: BA | Class of 2026

Nikita Reddy

I’m proud to call North Carolina home! Before Fuqua, I studied Journalism and Business at UNC-Chapel Hill. After graduating, I moved to Bangalore, India, where I worked in client strategy, gained a global perspective, and pushed myself outside my comfort zone.

At Fuqua, I pursued a Master of Quantitative Management in Business Analytics, combining my background in journalism with data-driven problem-solving.

Outside of school, I enjoy running, painting, photography, baking, and finding my next adventure!
