I knew I had made the right decision to attend Fuqua when I came for my admissions interview. I met with staff members who had never met me but had heard about me and treated me like family. I realized I wasn’t just an applicant or a number; I was a person. Everyone called me by name and was interested in my experience and my expectations, and assured me that the program would support me whatever career trajectory I desired to take going forward. I saw a belief in who I was and what I could achieve.
I was an engineering project manager leading teams to deliver large scale energy projects in remote locations. I had technical expertise but limited business acumen to sustainably deliver on budget, time, and the business metrics that projects needed.
I intend to change industries to either technology or renewable energy in a program management role that leverages data analytics to develop consumer insights and strategies. I hope to lead products and programs from ideation through to operational delivery.
