I don’t think there’s anything you need to add to your academic resume, but gaining professional experience in your career field of interest would be a significant plus - whether it’s through entry-level jobs or internships.

Right now, based on what you’ve you said here, going straight into an MPP program will mean you have a whole bunch of education but no real-world experience, and that’s not what recruiters are looking for in professional fields.
