Fuqua is filled with a remarkably talented group of diverse and successful people who are also caring, thoughtful, and genuine. When I applied to Fuqua, I had students I had never met before helping me with parts of my application and brainstorming with me on essays. It is the community that sets Fuqua apart.
I was an investment banking analyst at Lazard Freres; I focused on structuring and implementing bulge-bracket M&A deals across a variety of industries. I then was a venture capital associate at Sandbox Industries where I was primarily responsible for sourcing and completing diligence on Series A and Series B food/agriculture technology startups in which our firm would invest.
I plan to join an early-stage startup in the food industry in a strategy-focused leadership position. I am hoping to have a multi-functional role that is focused primarily on business development and go-to-market strategy. I plan on applying many of the concepts I have learned at Fuqua and during my work with Fuqua startup, BIOMILQ.

Fuqua Hoops is a basketball club at Fuqua and is full of a bunch of fun-loving and active students. The club gets together at least twice a week for scrimmages and organizes a few weekend tournaments each year. The students in the club have become very close.
