Ed
Human Intelligence Officer “I joined the Human Intelligence Career Field with a background in journalism, Linguistics and political science. HUMINT is a spectrum of skills and tools to
acquire information from people — some of these skills are innate, like natural curiosity and mental fortitude, while others can be taught, like language and tactical skills. I was able to move along this spectrum and become a fully-
proficient collector with the support of great leadership and talented mentors
who pushed me into challenging training and experiences. When I reflect back on all of the worldwide opportunities I’ve taken and the myriad of collection requirements I’ve supported, I feel fortunate to have had such a diverse and satisfying career.
Now, after conducting HUMINT in warzones, urban centers and combatant commands, I am a career development officer, mentor and professional
management coach. I assist DIA officers in developing their careers, broadening
their skill sets and imagining and attaining their future goals. The best part of the job is seeing officers’ renewed energy and initiatives after they get out of their
comfort zones, get out into the Intelligence Community, and get out in support of the warfighter.”
