Master of Public Administration (MPA)

Kevin began his MPA studies through the Double Dawgs program during the spring semester of his junior year at the University of Georgia. He has since earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and International Affairs from the School of Public and International Affairs and will begin his full-time studies as an MPA candidate in the Fall of 2024. The courses he took at UGA, combined with his internship on Capitol Hill, motivated Kevin to pursue an MPA to gain deeper insights into areas related to pubic policy, with the goal of creating a policy portfolio to eventually work in the office of a member of Congress or an executive office as an advisor. While at UGA, Kevin worked part-time as a law clerk for a local attorney after class and will serve as the Rural Internship Program Graduate Assistant at the DAR-Career Center beginning this fall.
