How has being a Philosophy graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?
"My studies as a philosophy major honed my thinking and writing, in ways that made me stand out first as a job candidate, later as a graduate school applicant, and now as a psychologist and researcher. It also made my brain a more interesting place to live. I am forever grateful."
What advice would you give students in Duke's Philosophy programs?
"When possible, take classes you find interesting! Life is too short for unnecessary boring academic work."
