John Jensen
STAFFORD,VA
Summary
I have done well in my eight years as a Supply Officer of the United States Marine Corps, but I am ready and excited for a career shift. My interests are in people and political entities and how these interact with one another at the international and organizational level. I feel most intellectually engaged when studying history or current international relations, and imagining how different actions or policies might result in better, or worse, outcomes. This passion is why I am applying to the National Intelligence University's Master of Science of Strategic Intelligence program. As an active-duty Marine officer with over a decade of experience, I am now preparing myself for a second career in national security, either by continuing to work for the Department of Defense, the Department of State, or one of the national intelligence services.
