”Being part of a team with members coming from different backgrounds truly sharpens my skills in active listening, team coordination, and time management. Moreover, working in a team at Fuqua truly brings in the definition of leading with the Decency Quotient (DQ) that Fuqua is known for.”

Why I Chose Fuqua
I like that Fuqua’s main pillar is the Decency Quotient (DQ). Having a people/client-driven background, I deeply value DQ and appreciate its presence in the school. Fuqua is transparent and always up-to-date with its career reports each year, providing detailed industry stats, so I could research the outcomes of getting an MMS degree at Fuqua. Additionally, the Career Management Center and Admissions teams were always open to my questions and provided the information I needed. Academically, MMS teaches me what I need to learn to advance my career. I came from a non-business background with some work experience, and MMS was the answer to leveling up my professional career. I also believe MMS at Fuqua is one of the pioneering Master in Management programs in the U.S., with over 15 years in the market.
Overall, I am proud that I decided to go to Fuqua. I very much enjoy the environment that always uplifts and believes in the possibilities of each other.
Before Fuqua
Prior to Fuqua, I worked in operations and product management in the hospitality and travel industry. I had the chance to work for multinational companies and also a local not-for-profit organization. During my experiences, I often felt lost when collaborating with executives as I didn’t speak the same business language. I was motivated to attend business school to elevate my business competencies and acumen.
After Fuqua
While open to different paths, I am passionate about areas where I could elevate my client advisory and operations skills. With the business knowledge I receive from Fuqua MMS, I plan to be in the professional services field where I can work directly with clients while applying the business concepts I learn during the program.
5 Tips for Maximizing Your Time at Fuqua and Duke
- Duke Groups: A platform that posts all the activities happening on campus every day. There are thousands of events with different causes that you can sign up for. I highly recommend it!
- Graduate & Professional Student Government: Believe it or not, Duke has more graduate students than undergraduate ones. Sign up to be a Senator representative from Fuqua to connect with the university. It is also an opportunity to network and connect with other students from Duke’s nine other graduate schools.
- MMS Fellows: With this role, you have the authority to make an impact on your MMS cohort. The MMS program team is always there to support you along the way!
- Join MBA’s social clubs. It is a great way to connect with MBA folks and make contributions to the community. Remember you are able to join any social clubs at Fuqua!
- You can also plan your own event – the MMS team is always there to support. Talk to MMS Fellows or MMS Program/Career Management Center teams about your ideas and they will be all ears!
