About
I am currently pursuing a Master of Public Administration (MPA) at Villanova University. I commenced my studies in May 2015 and plan to complete my MPA by August 2017. I established my Limited Liability Company (LLC) in August 2014 and currently work approximately 30 hours per week. In March 2014, I retired from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) after working more than 26 years. Prior to working at USAID, I worked in the private sector as a civil and construction engineer for ten years.
