My typical day-to-day job as an analyst involves a lot of research and a lot of reading.

I spend a lot of my time reading the information that the Special Agents on my squad have collected

and then doing more research about it.

If there's any gaps or any information that we're missing, I try and fill that in with

information from other Intelligence Community sources or from other government agencies

or from the public-sector information that we might have.

By far my proudest moment as an FBI employee is when we were able to have some LGBT employees

deploy down to Orlando after the attack on the Pulse nightclub there in June to help

support the Office of Victim Assistance and build trust with the LGBT community there.

It was obviously a really terrible situation to have happen in the first place but one

of the things that the FBI does best is respond to crisis.

I like to say that crisis FBI is the very best FBI.

Even though I've been working at the FBI for six years now, one of the coolest things is

still sometimes just walking through the front door that says FBI in the morning and touching

my badge that lets me go through the security door and just thinking like, “Wow, this is my life now.

I work for the Federal Bureau of Investigation." And it is the coolest thing ever.
