Leadership and Management

Leadership in public administration requires the ability to diagnose organizational challenges, manage people and systems, make evidence-based decisions, and communicate a clear direction for improvement. Throughout the MPA program and my professional work in public health and nonprofit leadership, I developed the capacity to evaluate organizational performance, design strategic interventions, and lead programs that center community needs. This competency reflects my ability to navigate complex systems, analyze ethical and structural barriers, and recommend actionable solutions that strengthen organizational outcomes.

The following artifacts were selected because they represent my strongest examples of applied leadership. They show how I approach organizational challenges through evaluation design, financial oversight, ethical analysis, and strategic planning. Together, they demonstrate my ability to integrate theory with practice and lead with accountability, cultural awareness, and a commitment to public service.
