Each day is different as an intelligence analyst. It’s driven by multisource data, mission, and consequence. The responsibility can be awesome as you may drive meaningful action through insight derived from ever-changing data, analytical rigor, and in-depth collaboration. In my experience, collaboration spans borders, time zones, nations, and languages.

I have worked with Koreans after North Korea’s first nuclear test, briefed multinational flight crews flying narco-terrorism missions in South America, and provided intelligence in the combat rescue of allied service members.

As the product development manager at CAP COM Federal Credit Union, I use my data-driven experience and cross-team collaboration to challenge convention and initiate change for the benefit of every member, every day.
