00:00:02,135 --> 00:00:03,970
Because of the 9/11 events,

00:00:03,970 --> 00:00:06,406
I migrated from Iraq
as a result of

00:00:06,406 --> 00:00:09,109
me working for the 
U.S. military as a translator.

00:00:09,109 --> 00:00:11,244
Shortly after arriving
to the United States,

00:00:11,244 --> 00:00:16,082
I joined the United States Army,
after becoming a U.S. citizen in 2010.

00:00:16,082 --> 00:00:20,787
Today, I'm serving CBP as a Senior
Intelligence Research Specialist.

00:00:20,787 --> 00:00:24,591
Serving with CBP enables me
to utilize my linguistic skills

to identify threats for
the intelligence community.
