Customer Success Manager at Yottaa (based in Boston) – (remote) Houston, TX

2009 Major: Philosophy and Political Science

How has being a Philosophy graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?

"Philosophy provided a great base for my IT career. So many philosophy concepts are directly related to IT - logic, arguments. Topics like AI are so much more interesting when informed with a background in ethics."

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

"Think broadly about how to apply your Philosophy degree in your career! I had considered law school, not knowing what options I had. There are so many other paths! Consider sales, real estate, IT, finance, or HR."
