I write to express my interest to further my studies by pursuing a Master of Business Administration(MBA). I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Renewable Energy Technologies (Electrical Engineering biased) from Mzuzu University obtained in 2018 and currently waiting for graduation. I have a track record in energy policy formulation and planning equipped with scientific, technical and theoretical skills in designing, installation, operation and maintenance of renewable energy systems such as hydro, solar, wind, solid biomass, biofuels and biogas. Furthermore, I have knowledge in carrying out energy supply and demand assessment, energy planning and policy analysis just to mention a few. I am a clear headed, ambitious individual who has taken the time to think about my future and my goals. I have just recently undertaken and completed my first degree in four years, with the experience I have and strong motivation to craft a bright future, I feel I can justify my decision to pursue this course opportunity and academically I believe that I have a solid foundation from a young age, which I can build upon with this opportunity, this opportunity is particularly important to boost my professional competency and also acquire deeper knowledge and understanding in the field of electrical engineering; I would like to utilize this opportunity to enhance my vocational and professional skills and be exposed to help me be productive to my colleagues but most importantly to my country should I be considered. I have a passion for innovation and solving problems differently. My bachelor’s degree project entitled “Assessment of the Potential of Using Wind Energy to Pump Water for Irrigation along Lake Malawi (case study of Lifeway Irrigation scheme-Salima.” which is yet to be published by Mzuzu University is one of the reasons I consider myself as innovative and able to solve problems that hinders Malawi’s social-economic growth. This research investigated the wind energy resource at Lifuwu irrigation scheme in Salima district. The main aim was to assess whether or not, Lifuwu irrigation scheme has wind resource that can support windmill technology for irrigation farming instead of using unreliable electricity from the national grid. This experience helped me to develop relevant skills in managing my time effectively, writing succinctly and to analyze data using statistical packages such as SPSS. I wrote a report on my findings which was well received by my supervisor. As an engineering student I was and am still a member of the Malawi Institute of Engineers (MIE) which helps us to be up to date with the engineering world through interactions with individuals who are already in the industry.

Your consideration will be greatly appreciated
