After earning my bachelor’s degree, I wanted to develop a stronger quantitative skill set. At the same time, I also prioritized the continued formation of my character. Fuqua was an easy choice because of its promise for both world-class skills training and an unwavering commitment to personal development.
I worked as a research assistant for Judge Ken Starr. I also had an internship at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing where I first considered a career in finance. Wanting to develop more quant skills, I decided to head to graduate school.
I am interested in finance and government and aim to work at the intersection of these two fields. Immediately after Fuqua, I want to work for a bank’s public finance team or a fiscal policy-related organization. My long-term goal is to be a policymaker.
The way I see it, two of the most effective vehicles for change are finance and policy. The intersection of those two fields lies in public finance. By understanding how governmental organizations finance their projects, I can be a more effective policymaker in the future. The skills I am learning now as an MMS student are laying an essential foundation for my life’s work.
