2001 Major: Economics and Public Policy Studies
"My Economics major combined with my Public Policy Studies major prepared me for a role in business, more specifically a career in financial services and risk management. My Duke degrees taught me how to think about issues from a variety of perspectives, to write and to present in a concise way that connects with audiences, and to understand relevant quantitative concepts."
"I would advise that students take calculated risks. For example, take a class that interests you but may not be a current area of strength. Or, look into internships or career opportunities that intrigue you but may not be ones that all of your peers are pursuing. I have been fortunate to have life and career opportunities that I would have been blind to had I not sometimes “taken the road less traveled.”"
