How has being a Mathematics graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?
"Math taught me how to think critically and logically so that I could solve problems with the ability to look at them from multiple angles. I have become a business woman who knows how to negotiate, find patterns in data, scan and process information quickly and I attribute a lot of this to the classical training of mathematics."
What advice would you give students in Duke's Mathematics programs?
"You can do anything with a degree in math! It’s applicable to all disciplines. It will make you a great thinker."
