Leadership and Management
Through the MPA program, I have gained experience applying organizational theory, leadership strategies, and ethical decision-making frameworks to real-world scenarios.
In practice, I have learned that leadership is not only about directing others but also about building trust, empowering colleagues, and fostering environments where innovation and collaboration can thrive.
By drawing on both academic learning and professional experiences, I have strengthened my capacity to manage complexity, adapt to challenges, and motivate others toward shared goals. Ultimately, this competency reflects my commitment to serving the public through leadership that is accountable, ethical, and oriented toward positive and sustainable impact.
