Elizabeth Alexander: Little Rock Field Office

Source: US FBI

I have been with the FBI for 12 years. I have worked counterintelligence, counterterrorism, violent crime, and drug cases. I have also served as the weapons of mass destruction assistant coordinator, primary fitness coordinator, and bank robbery investigation coordinator.

Prior to the FBI, I served for 11 years in the Army Reserves with one deployment to Afghanistan. I previously worked in database marketing and sales in the private sector for 12 years and am the mother of three boys, an author, and an artist.

What drew you to the FBI?

I was drawn to the FBI after a year long deployment to Afghanistan. After losing two soldiers on that tour, I really felt that I wanted to work in national security and continue to support the fight against terrorism. After researching several federal agencies, I believed the FBI would give me that chance, and it did.

I worked on the Joint Terrorism Task Force in the Little Rock Field Office for several years. That gave me the opportunity to work with intelligence community partners and other countries. No other federal agency would have offered what the FBI can do in that realm.

Describe your most memorable case or investigative success.

I have been privileged to work several interesting and successful investigations in the FBI.
