I wanted to use business school as a chance to push myself out of my comfort zone, so it was important to me to pick a school where my classmates would be there to support me without judgment. I have found the humility and lack of ego from Fuqua students truly remarkable. My classmates have such vast, incredible experiences and yet are incredibly humble and encouraging. Everyone supports each other as we go down our different paths and step out of our individual comfort zones.
I worked at Bank of America for six years. I started in a finance rotational program and had roles in financial reporting and investor relations. I then worked in corporate strategy, working on an enterprise-wide strategy for the Board of Directors and CEO. My last year was spent in principal investing, making direct equity investments into startups.
I will be joining Boston Consulting Group as a consultant in the New York office. I plan to join the firm as a generalist but am interested in working on tech, digital, and retail projects.
Gráinne Fitzsimons taught my Leadership, Ethics, and Organizations course during my first year. I now work with her as she serves as an advisor for the Gender Equity Working Group. I find the work Gráinne does incredibly interesting and relevant. She is intelligent, charming, cares about the development of her students, and devotes her time to make Fuqua a better place.
