I use the writing, research and analytical skills I learned as an Engish major every day in my work as a writer/history columnist. My English credentials, combined with my work as a writer and editor on The Chronicle, have been an advantage every step of the way in pursuing my professional goals, given Duke's standing as one of the finest universities in the country.
