Hi everyone! My name is Moritz – short Mo and I am from Dusseldorf, Germany. I come from an economic undergrad background and want to move away from the finance world. At Duke, I want to discover the areas of Politics, the environment, and really any course which sounds interesting to me. In my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, and socializing with friends and I have a passion for traveling and being outdoors. For sports, I used to play a lot of field hockey (it’s bigger for men in Europe than it is in the US) and squash, but I am open to trying out new sports. I like to follow soccer and formula 1 on television or watch something on Netflix on a more relaxed night. I am very much looking forward to this experience and quite excited about what Duke and the US have to offer!
Preferred Name: Mo (or Moritz is also fine)

Coming to the Duke GLS program, I hope to understand myself better.
