How has being an Economics graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?
"Hard skills of analysis and research. Big thing was credentialing- having the Duke name on the resume."
What advice would you give students in Duke's Economics programs?
"Get a 3.5 GPA (most important), do research for 2-3 semesters with the same professor for a rec letter, get a job that pays enough to pay down the Duke loan."
