"You would be hard-pressed to find a better town in which to attend business school than Durham. Relative to many other towns that have top business schools, it has a better climate, better cost of living, and a community that is better engaged outside of formal school events."

Why I Chose Fuqua
The primary reason I chose to attend Fuqua was to pursue an investment banking career in Charlotte, N.C. Charlotte appeals to me because of its status as the second-largest city for financial services in the country and one of the top five fastest-growing cities in the country. I knew that Fuqua’s Finance Club has special connections to investment banks in Charlotte that would help me in my recruiting process. Additionally, I was intrigued by Fuqua’s collaborative culture. The individuals that comprise each class of Fuqua have the personalities and abilities to make anyone a better teammate.
5 Random Things About Me
- I read a book independently for the first time at two years and four months of age: The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss.
- I became a football fan at the age of four. I tried to stay up late on Mondays to sing the Monday Night Football theme song.
- My morning routine consists of drinking 8oz of water, meditating for 10 minutes, doing push-ups, squats, and planks, and taking a cold shower.
- My favorite TV show ever is "Friday Night Lights." No show will ever mix drama and sports so expertly.
- If I could bring back one fashion trend, it would be the pocket watch. Its versatility and ability to spice up an otherwise-bland tuxedo is underrated.
