Summary

With over 20 years in the FBI, I have established abilities in drafting results-driven analysis with a strong focus on data and intelligence evaluation, multi-threat trend analysis, report writing, and mentoring and training others. I also have experience in working with multi-team squads, sharing intelligence, and briefing both squad members and executive intelligence. As a supervisor, I became skilled at informing executive management of time-sensitive information, mentoring employees on current requirements and standards, and ensuring deadlines were met.

I am a detail-oriented professional adept at collecting and processing information, strategic and organized with excellent communication skills, adept at problem solving and using technology to increase effectiveness, and making sound judgments with personnel and operations.
