Duke MQM Student Blog

DISI is an organization, open to all graduate students across the professional schools at Duke, that provides pro bono consulting services to non-profits in Durham and nearby communities.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We were the first set of students to ever complete the degree online. COVID and its by-products were threatening to define our final experiences at Duke’s Fuqua School of Business.

Last fall, I had the absolute honor of representing Fuqua and Duke as a finalist in the Adobe Analytics Challenge. I was flown out to Adobe’s headquarters in San Jose, California, to present our big ideas in front of a panel of judges and a live audience.
