I chose Fuqua because I knew I was going to get a quality education with high-achieving classmates. We had a wide range of ages in our class. I learned a lot from my classmates who have decades of experience, and at the same time felt the vigor and energy from the younger ones. I also loved the format of the program. I originally lived in Seattle, Washington, and the 3-day weekend once a month format was the best compromise in travel and for my work commitments.
I was an internal consultant for the pharmacy at Seattle Children’s Hospital. I leveraged analytics to improve pharmacy operations in safety, efficiency, and costs while meeting new regulations. I was also part of a team to build out two of the major electronic medical record systems for use by health care providers.
During the program, I joined a health care management consulting firm. I use analytics and what I have learned at Fuqua to drive strategies for hospitals and health care organizations to improve margins, expand patient access, manage project initiatives, and ultimately change the health care community.
