In speaking with current students at the schools I was applying to, the level of engagement and number of students who reached out to me from Fuqua was by far the most. They weren’t trying to sell Fuqua. They cared about knowing who I was as a person and what my goals and interests were. We even talked about non-Fuqua matters. I never got the feeling that they were too busy to provide me with more information or answer a question. I felt like I was part of the Fuqua team.
I worked at Oracle in sales compensation, incorporating the strategic direction of various products and services with the compensation plans and components of sales reps and management. I then pivoted into public accounting, working at Elsener & Elsener, where I focused on preparing tax returns and conducting industry-compliant audits.
I plan to move back to the Bay Area and work in technology. Since technology has become an inseparable part of our daily lives, the opportunity to work in this ever-growing, innovative industry would be meaningful to me.

When you connect with a Fuqua alum, the overwhelming theme is that the connection to Fuqua comes first, even though the person may also be part of a company or industry of interest to you. I appreciate that Fuqua alums are transparent, and I know I’ll get real insight and information from them.
