My Background and Educational Achievements

Personal Statement

My Ultimate Goal

I sincerely thank you for your consideration of my application to attain a Master's Degree in Public Administration (MPA) at the University of Colorado Denver. My main professional objective is to achieve a professorship at Kuwait University. But first I must obtain my MPA and gain the necessary skills and experience in that field, which I am very eager -- and highly qualified -- to do.

My Relevant Experiences

My educational and professional experiences clearly reflect that I have a very strong personal commitment to scholarship, leadership and learning. I currently hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Logistics, and I hold a Master of Science in Accounting and Finance.

In the Bachelor of Science program at the Arab Academy for Science and Technology and Maritime Transport in Alexandria, Egypt, in 2013, I finished my degree in the top 1% of my class; I graduated with a 3.82 (the top GPA was 4.0).

In the Master of Science program at Bangor University in the United Kingdom in 2015 -- during which I was on a scholarship -- I was again in the top 1% of my class. I was also a student representative, and I took advanced courses in finance management, financial statement analysis, risk management and international business applications.

In the private business world, I have excelled because I understand the vital importance of decorum, honest dialogue, being well prepared at all times and staying a step or two ahead of deadlines.

In my most recent position -- as an enthusiastic, well-versed Administrative Officer for the Al-ADA Al-AWAL General Trading & Contracting Company in Kuwait (10/2013 to 8/2014) -- I wore many hats. I planned and coordinated logistics and materials for board meetings; I processed client rebate reconciliation and served as important corporate liaison between the IT, marketing and finance departments.

Why will the University of Colorado Denver's MPA program work for me?

This university is ranked very high by business, financial and educational evaluators, and I believe an MPA from this institution will prepare me for managerial and leadership roles in the public sector, the nonprofit sector, NGOs, consultancies, and indeed, at the University of Kuwait. Again I thank you very kindly for your consideration. I know that I will be a worthy contributor to the university community, and a top-flight student as well.
