Happy birthday!
We asked the alumni below, celebrating a birthday today, April 20, "Where are you now?" Here's what they said...
Pragya Agarwal MMS '22
I am currently in Dallas, Texas working for Goldman Sachs. It is my first-time work experience in the States and so different from life at Duke (both good and bad). Just learning to embrace, grow, and live every moment :)
Babita Deitrich '89, MBA '96
Since 2000-ish my career path has morphed from tech/management to volunteerism and mentorship in my local community. I've been living in the Austin, TX area with my husband and son since 2006, and we LOVE seeing live music and commemorating it with a family selfie. Here's one from January 2023 at the Aztec Theatre in San Antonio!
Cihan Oklap MSQM '19
After graduating, I moved to San Francisco to pursue my dream of working in the gaming industry! Besides work, I spend most of my free time traveling, being outdoors, or in discord.
Terri Polk MBA '95
After retiring from Coca-Cola in 2021, I have pivoted to my non-profit era focused on economic development and the arts. I serve on the Dunwoody Development Authority Board as the board president of create Dunwoody, and I was recently selected to participate in the Atlanta Regional Commission’s 2023 Culture and Community Design program. This is perfect timing as my younger son prepares to head off to college, and I become an empty nester!
Bennett Ray '16, MBA '22, MEM '22
After graduating from Duke's MEM/MBA program in 2022, I moved to Santa Barbara, where I work remotely, but mostly hang out on the beach with my dog. Even convinced a few Fuqua alums and current students to visit Santa Barbara in December. I currently work in responsible sourcing at Target.
Meng Ru MSQM '22
After graduating from Duke, I moved to the Bay Area, California. I’m currently working as a risk data analyst at Bill. This picture is me and my Fuqua friends in Napa!!
Renna Sadarangani MMS '22
I’m currently in New York, working as an account executive with Intuit Mailchimp. Here is a recent picture of me and my friends in New Orleans!
Christina Dixon Smith MBA '15
After living in Houston, TX, our family moved to Raleigh, North Carolina! We recently took our kids back out to Houston to visit family and old friends! I am currently on the Labcorp Venture Fund team focused on bringing strategic insights, new technology, and innovation to the company.
