What impact has your Fuqua experience had on your career/life?

My Fuqua experience was transformative.

Not only did Fuqua provide me with a strong grounding in business fundamentals (much needed as a former English major), but sharpened my team-based leadership skills, which have been invaluable in navigating a rewarding career. Fuqua's "Paired Principles" have stayed with me as a core value set that I've adopted as my own.

Further, I left Fuqua with a strong network of outstanding individuals and many close friends, each of whom has truly enriched my life; this "Team Fuqua" network only continues to grow.

Professionally or personally, what are you excited about right now?

Professionally, I'm excited by the promise of digital innovation and AI to transform healthcare delivery, improving the experience for care providers and health consumers alike.

Personally, I'm passionate about supporting the next generation of women leaders through mentorship.

What does this Fuqua award mean to you?

This award is a tremendous honor; I am incredibly grateful for the recognition and to the many individuals who have provided opportunities for me to give back.

I also want to recognize the many Fuqua alumni around the world who are giving back to this community every day; Team Fuqua is only as strong as our collective commitment to it.
