    My undergraduate studies focused on understanding the real-world applications of marketing and finance from an international perspective. I took additional classes in philosophy, political science, history, and anthropology to broaden my understanding of global problems from different viewpoints.

    Transparency International has defined two priorities for 2016, (1) Engage with the public, and (2) Shed light on cross-border corruption. The primary aim is to measure the impact of the CPI in anti-corruption activities through a comprehensive study of its use by stakeholders. The first objective, which has been explicitly requested by TI, is a stakeholder analysis. Specific stakeholder groups which TI would like to study are: The private sector, academic research community, aid agencies, and foundations. The PIA group has dentify the level of stakeholder interest in the project. Activities to meet the objective will consist of a literature review to identify actors, comprehensive research on media to understand when, where, and how CPI is cited, a power grid, and the creation of a prioritized list of actors by their relevance.
