What is the best career or life advice you’ve been given?
The best life advice was given to me by my brother, Bill (retired FBI). From a young age, he always reminded me life wasn’t always going to be fair and life wasn’t always going to be easy. Additionally, to succeed in life, he coached me to have a very strong work ethic. He encouraged me to stay humble during my successes and to always remember where I came from. Keeping true to his life advice allowed me to accomplish my lifelong dream of service by becoming a police officer and FBI agent.
What does it mean to make room at the table? Why does it matter?
Having a seat at the table, to me, represents the opportunity someone is given to be heard and effect change within an organization. Thanks to the many female agents who successfully sat at the table to create change within the organization, we are finally seeing more chairs added to the table to represent the diverse workforce of the FBI.
