A very diligent student and hard-working man originally from Ghana, I am determined to succeed here in America, and I now seek a career change to excel professionally and make my maximum contribution to my community. My undergraduate studies are in Agricultural Science and my master's studies in Agricultural Economics, graduating from Mississippi State University with my MS in August of 2013.
Since October of 2014, I have been employed as an Office Manager for the ____ Home Health Agency in Chicago IL.; and my new work has inspired me to continue to grow and reach out for greater levels of responsibility in health administration. Health Administration is my professional calling. Thus, to receive the finest preparation possible, I hope very much to be accepted to your distinguished master's in health administration (MHA) program at the University of XXXX because I see your program as the finest MHA Program in XXXX.
I especially appreciate the way that the MHA program at UXX is designed to provide an opportunity for the pursuit of a career in health administration for applicants whose undergraduate degree was earned in a variety of other fields, applicants like myself who now aspire to enter the health field as administrators and managers and to obtain their Master’s Degree in Health Administration.
After carefully studying the curriculum for the MHA at UXX, I am a perfect fit with your program and that I will have something special to contribute to class discussions as someone with a background in Agriculture and a focus on Africa as well as Economics. In this way, I look forward to contributing to the diversity of your program.
I also have extensive experience now for 6 years serving as the financial secretary of my church, I perform administrative tasks for my church, which includes management and oversight of all transactions and the preparation of annual financial reports periodically throughout the fiscal year, which serve as a basis for projections concerning the coming fiscal year. I prepare and mail invoices for our vendors, draft letters, and pay bills, etc. I also make certain that all monies are paid and received in a timely fashion with the support of QuickBooks.
Earning my MHA from UXX will allow me to continue in my present professional position in home health, continuing to serve as a preceptor to the extent to which the need should arise. I have been living in Chicago for the past 3 years and I have fallen in love with this beautiful city, the bus and train systems, being close to my family who live in Chicago. Living here also allows me to have extensive contact with Ghanaian community groups in Chicago. I love America and the wonderful opportunities that it has to offer; yet much of my heart is still back in Africa and, thus, as I make progress in Health Administration, I hope to contribute to health administration in Ghana as well as the USA. At some point in the future, I hope to design and operate my own non-profit in Africa, helping to make health administration more efficient.
 Thank you for considering my application to the finest MHA Program in XXXX.
