Coming from a social impact background, I was anxious to find a business school where students were open to thinking critically about the role of the private sector in society. I knew that the Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship (CASE) would be an ideal home for me to engage with professionals and peers alike around topics related to sustainability, impact investing, and beyond. On top of that, I was impressed with Fuqua's non-competitive, team-based culture. My classmates have gone above and beyond to support me in recruiting, class, and outside of school as well.
I was vice president of a boutique social impact consulting firm. In this role, I built unlikely partnerships between tech and labor, made a fiduciary case for considering diversity in asset management, and promoted the voices of young elected officials with bold ideas sourced from the grassroots.
I plan to pursue a career in impact investing. In particular, I hope to work with families and foundations to invest their capital in line with their values.
I was grateful to be able to safely hang out with classmates outside year-round thanks to Durham's great weather and access to the outdoors. From playing tennis to hiking on local trails to gathering around a fire pit for drinks and s’mores, there is a long list of incredible outdoor activities to do at any time of year.
