INSA Intern (2019-2020)

"I have always been interested in how countries interact on the international stage, but it wasn’t until after 9/11 that I really begin to become interested in the IC and how the world works when it comes to national interests and threats."

"My favorite INSA event was the Baker Awards. I thought Keith Alexander was a very humble, fascinating speaker. Everyone was dressed up for the Black-Tie event and I saw some individuals that I have read about, such as James Clapper."

"I see facial recognition as a top IC issue in 2020 as more countries develop this technology and the continuing discussions on how this type of technology works within democracies and their legal systems."

"The IC is at the forefront of using new technologies, while still having that human element. Furthermore, I really enjoy the IC‘s non-partisan, mission driven goal. Everyone I have met seems to care deeply about the mission and their colleagues and that is great to hear."

Favorite IC Movie: Patriot Games
