Why I chose Berkeley's MPA program:
In addition to being an outstanding globally recognized program, GSPP provided me opportunities to pursue my policy interests in information technology, entrepreneurship and economic development while providing access for interactions with leading practitioners in those sectors

How an MPA will benefit me:
The GSPP MPA will help me in leveraging my private sector and global finance background to galvanize my problem-solving abilities and widen my vision of economic development through creation of innovative public policies as I seek to equip diverse poor and working class Africans and others around the world with skills and opportunities to achieve a measure of well-being while making our wold a better place for all.

After graduation:
My blue sky public policy issue is to create a blockchain of poverty alleviation programs that are self-sustaining and may create a replicable means for countries globally, including emerging economies, to promote new enterprises focused on income growth among the world’s poor especially through tech-enabled entrepreneurship.
