How has being an Economics graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?
"I gained a much better understanding of micro- and macroeconomics. It gave me insight into how businesses run. It has helped me make financial decisions both personally and professionally."
What advice would you give students in Duke's Economics programs?
"Economics can be applied to almost all aspects of your personal and professional lives. Always look for the opportunity costs and potential unintended consequences associated with a decision or pathway."
