  • MY TUCK TRANSFORMATION

    My experience at Tuck was truly transformational. I came to business school to career pivot from the non-profit sector—and Tuck opened so many doors for me. I’m leaving with a new career ahead of me in tech as well as so many life lessons. At Tuck, I’ve taken a lot of risks and made a lot of mistakes. Because of the small and supportive environment, I’ve felt like a part of a team which included faculty, administration, and classmates. Tuck significantly shaped my perspectives on leadership and impact, and I’m excited to see where my new skillset will take me.
