How has being an Economics graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?
"Duke Economics gave me a problem-solving mindset, that is commonly applied in the consulting industry. It taught me how to look at a complex problem and break it down into simple and solvable components to reach a solution. Our classes also taught me to ask better questions, and learn about why things happen the way they do."
What advice would you give students in Duke's Economics programs?
"Think of the intersection of Economics and Statistics. Learn coding languages such as Python, these tools are becoming more and more common in the workplace. Having the ability to automate and create data products will make you stand out in your first job after graduation."
