Professional Skills
The MPA program includes essential professional skills and knowledge that students
in public administration need to have to function successfully in the work environment. I have gained a variety of skills that I know makes me a strong asset to any employer. Below are a few of my academic projects that demonstrate my skills:
Proposal for Foundation Funding
Literature Review on Job Security
Budget Forecasting & Cost-Benefit Analysis
Memorandium on Wireless Philadelphia
Through the MPA research methods course, I collected survey data on young nonprofit professionals around the country, and after statistical analysis, I published a full report that has been distributed online and in print throughout the country.
The printed publication is entitled Stepping Up or Stepping Out.
In my previous job position, I statistically analyzed the organizations evaluation data and worked with other academics to write manuscripts for publication in academic journals.
