ON WHAT SHE LIKES AOUT BEING PART OF THE NETCOM TEAM:
“The strategic-level influence this command has across the globe, enabling C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence), has allowed me to build key relationships at all echelons, across branches, and throughout the DoD (Department of Defense).”
ON WHAT UNIQUE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES A CAREER WITH NETCOM OFFERS:
“Given the rapid pace of technology advancement, all directorates within NETCOM must stay current on capabilities and future capabilities. This situational awareness will help us build a better network for our end users (specifically warfighters) and help protect us from adversarial activity. All warfighting domains are recognizing the dependency they have on communications to accomplish their missions. We really are a critical part of winning wars and ensuring success of mission.”
ON WHAT SHE WOULD SAY TO SOMEONE WHO IS CONSIDERING FOLLOWING HER CAREER PATH IN NETCOM:
“I had a unique journey within NETCOM. I started out in G3 (Operations) in the Protection Cell. This allowed me to understand the operational side of the house, which benefited me greatly when I transitioned into the G2 Intelligence Division. I would recommend to all career paths – know your role, know what other directorates and divisions offer, and never stop learning about NETCOM’s role in real-world operations.”
ON A CAREER WITH NETCOM OFFER THAT OTHER CAREER PATHS DON’T:
“In terms of Intelligence career paths within NETCOM, Intelligence Specialists will learn how cyber, as a warfighting domain, enables the other warfighting functions and crosses all the other domains. This knowledge should be incorporated into the basic levels of intelligence analyst training.”
