Outgoing Robertson Scholar interested in Business and Health care
Hi! My name is Kayah, and I am a sophomore at Duke who's originally from NYC! I'm interested in a lot of different areas of study and extracurriculars ranging from Economics & Entrepreneurship to Global Health & Psychology to Journalism & Media. I'm pursuing one of Duke's unique academic offerings: Program II which is a blend of 5-6 different academic focuses into one major, that is approved by a rigorous review board. I do a lot of mentorship work on and off campus when it comes to college applications, navigating moving to a new place, and balancing all the new responsibilities of college. My main extracurriculars revolve around supporting companies that are expanding their product line or doing rebrands and service work. Love chatting about Duke and the overall college process, plus showing my favorite hidden spots and food picks around campus.

Describe your college experience
Duke programs definitely helped me get to know my peers, campus, and settle into a new environment. Academic Deans and overall staff are very supportive and caring. There are certain resources that require a bit of digging but overall very accessible.
Tip for future students
Don't be afraid to put yourself out there! It sounds cliche but when it comes to meeting new people or getting engaged in different extracurriculars be proactive and outgoing!
Favorite class
Econ 290--get to meet CEO's running companies in industries ranging from health to fashion.
Career goals
Work in consulting for a few years and then build my own company.
Ideal way to spend a free night
Trying out a new restaurant in Durham (so many good eats), or just hanging out in common room/dorm with friends.
High school or secondary school

Favorite spot on campus
BC Plaza! It's such a nice place to sit and study outdoors plus always see people you know!
