Ms. Sustainable Food Manufacturing

It’s always great to come across a profile from a woman with a strong operations background and I imagine the admissions team in North Carolina will also see you as a breath of fresh air. Your goals are well aligned with your existing experience and there are clearly some big wins on your resume, particularly the Team of the Year award following on from what was indeed a terrible year for most manufacturing facilities during the pandemic. I’m guessing there is some background story to your GPA which you will need to clarify, but there is a solid GMAT to compensate so a strong application and a clearly positioned narrative should overcome that. I’d like to know more about your involvement in Charlotte’s urban forest project which sounds fascinating so if you have a leadership role here make sure that this is something that stands out in your application – it ties in nicely with Duke’s focus on creating ‘Leaders of Consequence’. If you don’t, now might be the time to step up! All in all I see you as a good bet for your target schools. If you’d like to discuss more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Good luck!
