Joyce Wamambo, MPPA
I did my undergraduate degree in Public Health and since graduating, I’ve spent the last few years working in the non-profit sector. My experience as a social worker was rewarding and challenging. My passion for empowering and advocating for the most vulnerable people in my community inspired me to further my studies in public policy. I was attracted to the SPPA program at Carleton University as I wanted to learn more about public policy development and the complexities of public administration. Additionally, I was impressed by the co-operative education program as I value the opportunity to gain practical work experience. I aspire to use the knowledge and skills I will gain from this program to build and strengthen resilient and inclusive communities. Although school is online this year, I have learnt a lot about public policy, and I am grateful for all the extra support that Carleton has provided me. I am looking forward to all the upcoming opportunities that will help me grow both professionally and personally.
