On GMAP

I chose GMAP because of the international network, global-first syllabus, and the opportunity to create new connections. When I read about GMAP and the courses, I realized it's very similar to an MBA but for international affairs. I was very interested by this international mid-career program in my area—to develop new tools, establish new connections, and create some new circles in global affairs around my organization in my country. 

What’s next

I hope that my program will support me in better understanding different countries all around the world. I'm planning to stay in the field of international affairs, and I want to create new connections with countries all around the world. I want to create new opportunities for my country, for people with whom I'm working every day, for students, children, and teachers.

Best part so far?

I am completely sure that the best thing—what I’ve already taken away from Fletcher and my program—is the people: classmates and faculty members, staff who organize everything. People are the main asset of this program.
