Because of the 9/11 events,
I migrated from Iraq as a result of
me working for the U.S. military as a translator.
Shortly after arriving to the United States,
I joined the United States Army, after becoming a U.S. citizen in 2010.
Today, I'm serving CBP as a Senior Intelligence Research Specialist.
Serving with CBP enables me to utilize my linguistic skills
to identify threats for the intelligence community.
