Striving for perfection is a natural force, which has led mankind to its present state of advancement. Perfection, for me, means enhancing my knowledge in specific field of interest which will enable me to contribute to the advancement of society in general and to deeper understanding of my field in particular. It is with these objectives in mind that I wish to pursue the Ph.D. program in Operations and Supply Chain Management (OSM) at Texas A&M University (TAMU).
Following undergraduate studies in industrial engineering at Seoul National University, I applied my knowledge as an air force officer of the Republic of Korea. As an armament maintenance company commander, I reclassified repair parts to better visualize asset status and increase efficiency. As a result, my company was selected as the best maintenance company of the 10th Fighters Wing in 2010. I was fascinated with the importance of accurately matching supply of repair parts to their demand, and this experience influenced me to pursue graduate studies.
My first research practice which I conducted in the master’s program in industrial engineering at Texas A&M University was journal replication studies under my advisor, Dr. Andrew Johnson. The paper was about measuring managerial practice collected by innovative survey tool. Rather than simply label unobserved heterogeneity fixed effects, the authors developed explicit indicators of managerial practice. Through this replication process, I learned how to set up a model with appropriate assumptions and validate and analyze the results. While converting original Stata code into R to verify the result, I also learned various types of estimation such as OLS, GMM, and Olley and Pakes’s method. Based on this experience, I am curr...

Ultimately, I hope to continue my research as a professor in the U.S. to provide valuable insights to the field of OSM. I would like to contribute to society by making use of my independent research abilities. I strongly believe that the doctoral program at TAMU, with internationally recognized faculty, extensive network of alumni, and rich curriculum that balances conceptual, theoretical, and managerial foundation of OSM, is the most suitable destination for me to pursue further research achievement. I am confident that the skills and experiences I have acquired over the last several years, combined with my determination and enthusiasm for the field, have thoroughly prepared me to succeed in this program. I look forward to continuing my education at a doctoral level.

Travelling around the world gives an individual a unique perspective of life, culture and tolerance. In the tenth grade, I had the opportunity to embark on a journey which provided me with a unique perspective and view of humanity. Similar to my other trips to Europe my initial intention was to enjoy two-weeks away from school in continental Europe, however I was flabbergasted when I realized this two-week trip would serve to destroy my idealist view of a pluralistic society. I was destined for Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic to study the Holocaust.
Applying to graduate school is an important process. Students must make sure that they meet all the expectations of the programs to which they are applying. However, the graduate schools must also meet the needs of the students. From what I have learned, the DPT Program at Franklin Pierce University exceeds expectations. Both the DPT program, and the university as a whole, show deep commitment to academic excellence, helping the community, and thoroughly preparing students for careers in their desired field.
I truly hope that you will take my application into consideration for the Loyola University Maryland School of Education. Teaching and education is a passion of mine and I feel that this graduate program will help me hone my skills to become a well-rounded and effective educator. I bring to the table experience in academic research and applied experience as an employee of the Harford County Public Schools.
My undemanding of the duties and responsibilities of a public child welfare worker is to ensure the safety of the child. The worker would would first want to get as much informant as possible during intake. This will give the worker the opportunity to assess the safety of the child or children. If a worker finds that it is safe for a child to be where they are, they would just do follow up visits and report back to the agency letting them know the children are still safe. If the worker was to find that the children were not safe, they would do an investigation and intervene, when need be, to make sure they get the children out of that harmful situation. In the process the worker is making sure the child is save while also giving the family the strength to understand what a healthy and safe environment is for that child. Once the worker has educated the family, they may think it is safe for the child to reenter the home, however, if they feel like the family wont be able to take care of the child, they will find and alternative for the child.

I have always had a passion to learn. My interest is in political theory and economics, hoping someday to become a lawyer and stateswoman. I realize that in order to reach any of these goals, a college degree is vital. When I in turn reach my goals, I will use them to encourage and uplift my community by investing my time, money, energy, and influence to become a stepping stone for others.
Public Administration, as a field, had always captivated me right from my undergraduate days. I believe my curiosity for this field comes from my family. Both my father and my uncle were politicians. During my early days, I used to go to my father’s office where I had a great chance to observe different kinds of people with various jobs and interests. This was the first time I learned how mutual interests bring people together. When I understood how public relations work naturally, it forced me strongly to study and comprehend the complex theory of politics. After finishing high school, I made up my mind to pursue a career in Political Science. For this reason, I was enrolled to Istanbul Bilgi University’s Political Science program. After having completed my Bachelor’s Degree, I decided to excel in this field by completing a Master’s degree.
