Hey Julie, do you find that creating your own major helped you navigate through tech and the tech industry more easily than if you had followed a more traditional engineering or liberal arts degree?

Hey Andy!

I think creating my own major has made me resilient and makes me try unique stuff. I like to think that I have forged my own path here at Microsoft, and that making my own major helped me to realize that I don't need to take what is given to me as the only answer.
