How has being an Economics graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?

"I learned how to think critically and to analyze problems from a number of angles. I also learned how to evaluate behavior. These skills have helped me in my litigation career in crafting messages for litigation and selecting and talking to juries."

What advice would you give students in Duke's Economics programs? 

"Take advantage of the opportunity of the variety of classes and professors. It always is beneficial to learn to look at the world or problems in different ways. Also, make sure you take classes that encourage collaboration. Working with people with different viewpoints is a great experience and helps with collaborative efforts in the real world."
