| On career satisfaction: “One day I could be interviewing witnesses of a bank robbery and the next day I’m doing surveillance. There are so many different aspects about this job that I really like, and each day is unique, never a dull moment!” |
On doing good for the community: “The work we do has an incredible impact on our communities. To break up a major drug ring for example…keeping drugs off the street…that feels great.” |
On her most rewarding case: “A couple of years ago, I was involved with a kidnapping case. The investigation took six months and covered ten states. It was rough going, but I’ll never forget the expression on the mother’s face when we returned her daughter.” |
On why others should consider a career at the FBI: “If you want a job that’s challenging and exciting, where every day you go home feeling good about your work and yourself, this is the place to be.” |
