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

00:00:24.591 --> 00:00:27.560
to identify threats for
the intelligence community.
