During the application process, I reached out to Fuqua alums, and all of them took the time to talk to me and offer advice; one of them even helped me throughout the rest of the application process. The more people I spoke to, the more convinced I was that Fuquans were kind people, and it was a place where I would fit in. It also became clear that Fuqua was a place where people developed their leadership skills more collaboratively and tried their best to make positive impacts.
I worked in corporate strategic planning and risk management for a multinational building materials company. I was in charge of leading COVID-19 crisis management and the early reactivation of the construction industry in 28 countries.
Over the summer, I interned at Boston Consulting Group. I plan to continue in general management consulting and apply both the soft and hard skills I have learned at Fuqua to help companies solve their most pressing challenges. Long-term, I plan to use those skills to support social impact initiatives.
Having the possibility of exploring a broad range of industries, functions, and types of projects is a unique opportunity only consulting offers. Additionally, the diversity of work and generalist model help generate an extensive skill-set that is easily transferable to any other career you choose to pursue in the future.
