The Croft Institute had one of the greatest influences on my career because it first opened my mind to the realm of international business, economics, and politics. While studying at Croft, I had the opportunity to study in Europe and Asia, learn about migrations from Africa to Europe while writing my thesis, and take courses taught by professors who cultivated my curiosity. The new perspective, education, and skills that I gained at Croft prepared me for graduate studies at one of the world's best graduate schools for international affairs and for a career focused on international risk analysis, policy, and corruption.
