What Life at Duke Is Really Like

I made a podcast with two of my best friends. In this episode of Personable, I sit down with Gabe Cooper and Jayden Lewis—two of the closest people in my life here at Duke. We talk about what college is really like: from imposter syndrome and roommate stories to club rejections, late-night convos, and how we’re all just trying to figure life out. Whether you're applying to Duke, already here, or just curious what it’s like to grow up in an environment full of pressure, passion, and people you’ll never forget—this one’s for you.

Personable is a podcast dedicated to helping listeners become the best they can be by learning from the world’s best in their respective fields. This mission is inspired by my mother, Louise, who encouraged me to become the best version of myself before she passed away from cancer in 2023.
