____ University is my first choice for earning the MBA. I love the global perspectives emphasized at ____, the celebration of diversity, and your innovative treatment of international business development. My principal professional as well as personal inspirations are strong woman in business and politics who were able to bring transformations and positive changes to society.
I want to serve as an example to other women in business of the way in which a lot of hard work can pay off with remarkable success. In my case, with more than 15 years professional experience in real estate and construction, earning the MBA will open new doors to future opportunities of which I am dedicated to taking the fullest advantage. I have matured and learned a great deal from my extensive travels in addition to my professional experiences. My native languages are Ukrainian and Russian, and I am fluent in German as well as English. I can also communicate on a basic level in French and Italian.
As an MBA student, I look forward to paying special attention to the study of foreign investments in developing countries, particularly the role of leadership by women in business and public administration. I have been an active member of the Ukrainian cycling society throughout my adult life – part of a small minority of women in the organization - organizing and running cycling events for years and this has helped me to develop my leadership skills, communication abilities, and my ability to organize and multitask.
My country, Ukraine, has been suffering in recent years from war, a sluggish economy, inefficient management, and extremely elevated levels of corruption, leaving ordinary people struggling for survival. We need a new generation of leaders with more liberal, creative views, not so anchored in the struggles and competition of the past but able to re-work institutions anew. I like to think that my education to the MBA Degree in International Business at ____ University will provide me with fresh business ideas. I want very much to contribute to bringing new investments to Ukraine, in industry, agriculture, and health, making the most of the advance of technology.
A world-class education is indispensable in Ukraine to become a leader, especially if one is a woman. In addition to my volunteer activities in cycling and fundraising, for the last 4 years I have also been helping a network of orphanages. I fly to the USA for a month every year for business meetings and to Great Britain for cycling as well as business. I go to France to ski as well as cycle and ski in Germany. I am also familiar with Spain and Italy and have toured much of Southeast Asia and parts of Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Caribbean, further refining my delight in the celebration of diversity.
Thank you for considering my application to International Business at ____ University.
