Ofilio Mayorga, MALD 09, Nicaragua

“Having worked for the largest international law firm in Central America for more than three years, I knew I wanted to pursue a multidisciplinary education that would allow me to apply my knowledge to diverse situations. I could not find those characteristics I sought in traditional law schools in Europe and North America. At Fletcher, I have been given the opportunity to explore new fields that I never would have thought so relevant to my legal career. Fletcher has exceeded my expectations and I feel rewarded to know that I made the right choice. One of the main reasons I choose Fletcher was the quality of its faculty. It is exciting and intellectually challenging to find myself in the classrooms and sometimes having lunch with those individuals that shape world politics through their academic work.”
