Megan Anderson

"I honestly don’t think there was a ‘moment’ that I realized I wanted a career in the intelligence community. I have known for a long time that I wanted to serve my country, but I wasn’t exactly sure where I fit. Ultimately, I think my drive to serve has pushed me towards a career in the IC."

"My favorite INSA event was the Baker Awards. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, get dressed up and honor a distinguished member of the intelligence community. The fun environment coupled with the sheer amount of knowledge and experience in the room was awe-inspiring."

"Countries like Russia, China, Iran and other malicious actors may be looking to interfere with the upcoming election. I believe that the use of AI bots on social media to spread misinformation and propaganda to influence the 2020 election may be of top concern for the IC."

"The opportunity in the IC excites me! I think, as a young professional aspiring to work in the IC, I am constantly overwhelmed by the variety of positions available, the developing landscape and the broad range of issues covered. The thing that excites me the most is the constantly changing environment that provides no opportunity for stagnancy in my future career."
