Summary
I am a highly motivated individual with a strong passion for pursuing a master's degree in economics. My goal is to contribute towards the economic development of Liberia and the world at large. I have a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Liberia and have consistently demonstrated academic excellence throughout my undergraduate studies. I graduated with honors and distinction (Cum Laude). However, I believe that a master's degree in economics will provide me with a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter, as well as the necessary research and analytical skills to contribute to the field of economics.
