Fuqua was the only business school I applied to because I believed it was the perfect choice for me professionally and personally. Having completed a Master of Management Studies at Fuqua in 2015, I was able to take electives early and truly personalize my learning experience. Given my interest in impact investing, I knew that the CASE Initiative on Impact Investing (CASE i3) program would have the best resources available to me. Most importantly, I had previously experienced the Fuqua community firsthand and knew it would provide me the support I needed during this transformational two-year journey.
I worked in consulting in the performance improvement division at Ernst & Young, where I helped clients solve complex problems and manage complex transformation projects across various industries.
Though my future plans are still in progress, I am interested in pursuing a career at the intersection of business and sustainable impact. Both my academic and experiential learning opportunities at Fuqua have helped build my knowledge and skillset and also enhance my ability to collaborate and lead diverse teams.
I enjoyed Triangle Training, which is an immersive team experience that students undergo during orientation. It includes both intellectual and physical challenges in a team context and helps to develop strong bonds and camaraderie with your peers and cohort. It was the best team bonding exercise I’ve ever done, and the relationships I built that day have continued to be sources of support and energy through recruiting and other challenging times at Fuqua.
