What is the best career or life advice you have to give?
I’ve had several people who have given me great advice at different points in my career. The biggest thing that helped me was this: It’s not a failure if you get knocked down, it’s a failure if you stay down. I believe that if you work hard, do the right thing, and treat people well, it’s going to show.
What does it mean to make room at the table? Why does it matter?
Diversity is important to the FBI. We all come from different backgrounds and different ways of thinking. I often think about Abraham Lincoln and his decision to choose advisors whose views conflicted with his own. If you engage with the people who disagree with you, it will force you to truly think everything through and find the best way forward.
