Can) you) describe) your) affiliation) to) Duke?) What) made) you)decide)to)come)here)as)an)undergraduate)and)what)has)inspired)or)compelled)you)to)stay?)

I’m!a!double!Dukie.!I!came!here!as!an!undergraduate!and!studied!biomedical!engineering.!What!compelled!me!to!stay!at!Duke!was!a! mix! of! different! things.! One! is! the! culture! –! you! feel! the!community! here.! Secondly,! there! is! an! intellectual! vibrancy! on!campus.! I’m! deeply! curious! about! so!many! different! disciplines!and! at!Duke! there! is! that! interdisciplinary! distinction,! where! so!many! opportunities! are! offered.! After! graduation,! I!went! to! DC!where! I! was! working! at! the! American! Association! for! the!Advancement! of! Science,! one! of! the! world’s! largest! and! most!prestigious!scientific!organizations.!I!was!working!on!bridging!the!ethical! and! social! implications! of! science! and! technology.! To! do!that,!you!had!to!bring!in!various!perspectives.!!

!

In!the!process!of!doing!that,!I!realized!that!I! love!to!make!things!happen!and!love!to!make!things!run.!I!came!back!to!Duke!for!the!Cross;Continent! MBA! program,! which! allowed! me! to! continue!working! while! earning! my! MBA.! Post;graduation,! I! ran! the!Teradata!CRM!center.!A!year!after! that,! I!moved! to! running! the!Coach! K! Leadership! and! Ethics! Center! at! the! Fuqua! School! of!Business.! This! is! very! entrepreneurial,! and! the! opportunity! to!engage!is!exciting.!Part!of!the!fun!when!you!start!something!from!scratch! is! having! a! blank! slate.!However,! that! is!also!one!of!the!most! challenging! parts.! The!leadership! space! is! very!crowded,! so! it! is! important! to!add! value! into! the! crowded!space.!My! job!is! figuring!out!not!how! to! be! another! voice! at! the!table,! but! how! to! make! a!difference!and!an!impact.!!

Can) you) talk) further) about) your) transition) from) Engineering) to) Business?)What) inspired) the)change)in)career)path?)

I! learn!more!about!the!patterns! of! underlying! ideas.! I! also! look! at! harvesting! ideas! and! creating! and! amplifying! their!impact.!I!also!worked!at!The!Chronicle!as!an!undergraduate,!so!writing!has!always!been!a!big!part!of!my! life.! In! science!policy,!no!one!was!writing!about! science!ethics,! so! I! started.!Now! today,! I!write!pieces!for!Fortune,!Wall!Street!Journal!and!the!Huffington!Post!on!an!array!of!topics.!!)

The!Fuqua!Coach!K!Center! for!Leadership!and!Ethics! (COLE)! is!based! in!Fuqua.!What!we!do!as!a!center!is!threefold.!The!first!part!is!thought!leadership,!where!we!draw!both!from!academia!and!industry!leaders.!We!think!about!what!is!coming!down!the!pipeline!in!leadership.!The!second!part!is!research.!Being!an!academic!center,!that!has!to!translate!through!our!work.!The!third!part!is,!of!course,!education.!

What)is)an)area)of)leadership)that)you)see)women)would)still)need)to)improve)on?)

!

What)was)the)biggest)lesson)in)leadership)or)ethics)that)you)have)encountered)during)your)Duke)years?)

When!I!was!an!undergraduate,!I!thought!leadership!was!more!about!position!and!title.!That!is!was!about!the!positions!you!hold,!rather!than!about!the!behaviors.!We!are!seeing!more!and!more!that!leadership! is! less! about! positional! power! and! more! about! the! ability! to! influence! others’!behaviors,! how! to! inspire! them! and! how! to! remove! obstacles! that! are! in! the! way! of! them!becoming!their!best!selves.!So,!if!you!were!to!have!asked!me!as!an!undergraduate!whether!I!was!a!!

Perhaps!the!most!innovative!concept!for!members!was!Mr.!Wright;Swadel’s!vision!of!a!“Board!of!Directors,”!composed!of!a!diverse!and!multifaceted!group!of!mentors!that!best!embodies!the!interdisciplinary!interests!of!the!complex!individuals!they!represent.!Such!a!“board”!puts!the!student!in!the!driver’s!seat!of!steering!her!future,!allowing!her!to!“understand!the!scope!of!who!and!what!you!are!becoming.”!Because!we!cannot!be!encapsulated!in!a!singular!opinion!or!perspective,!having!a!“Board”!ensures!that!future!employers!will!have!a!well;rounded!description!of!us!and!will!be!able!to!understand!and!appreciate!our!full!range!of!abilities.!Two!heads!are!truly!better!than!one,!but!why!stop!at!just!two?!It!is!crucial!to!give!our!varied!abilities!their!appropriate!chances!to!shine.!

Finally,"Mr."WrightGSwadel"wrapped"up"his"discussion"with"a"brief"word"about"career"planning."“Launching"is"important,"but"length"and"direction"is"critical,”"he"said."“Who"are"you"becoming?"What"roles"are"you"taking"on"now"that"can"be"applied"later"on?”"He"gave"the"example"of"Drew"Faust,"the"first"female"president"of"Harvard,"who"never"anticipated"having"such"a"job"but"always"knew"that"she"wanted"to"be"a"leader"and"an"agent"of"change."Harvard"just"happened"to"be"the"place."Becoming"who"we"are,"and"acknowledging"those"characteristics"that"comprise"our"personality"and"direct"our"goals,"helps"us"to"navigate"opportunities"that"may"come"our"way"in"the"future.""
