In the coming months, the Career Center blog will be featuring future leaders from the Darden full-time MBA classes of 2025 and 2026. We hope to give the community a genuine insight into why they chose Darden, their transformational experience in the classroom and a look at their future-focused goals, while opening the door for meaningful connections between them and organizations searching for fresh talent.

These stories are a small window into the talent cultivated here at Darden.
