“I really like that LSAT questions ask us to see through the worlds of the words of the complex sentences, and try to find the structure and the core arguments behind them. I feel like those are fun, and also a rewarding exercise to do.” 
Julie takes us in this episode through her rich journey of exploration and combining different interests. Learning to network, obtaining internships, managing her diverse academic disciplines, and handling work-life balance, Julie shares her tips and inspiration, and reflects on how she came to choose her major without having to let go of her hobbies or mental health.  
This episode of Uncharted features Aishwari, a Pioneer alumni who conducted research at Pioneer in 2020, interviewing Julie, who conducted research at Pioneer in 2018. Julie graduated with an economics-creative writing double major from Colby College in spring 2023 and is currently studying law as a J.D. candidate at Duke University. She has a strong love for music and refers to piano as her unofficial “third major”.  If you are interested in law, would like to learn about how to establish good relationships with professors or mentors, have different academic interests and hobbies you would like to balance during your undergraduate education, or are an international student looking for support and advice on how to thrive at a US university, this episode is definitely for you!
