<p>Michelle Ann is an amazing, queer woman of color and Filipina immigrant who happens to work in a very male-dominated field. I don’t meet a lot of women in homeland security (or the federal government for that matter) so I definitely had a few questions to ask, e.g., how did you find out about your career and what do you actually do at your job?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Thank you so much Michelle for your care in helping others and offering you advice about how to get a stable career in the federal government.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>We chat and talk about a few more questions like:</p> <p>&nbsp;- &nbsp;How did you get involved in law enforcement?</p> <p>&nbsp;- &nbsp;What was the scariest thing that’s happened at work?</p> <p>&nbsp;- &nbsp;How was training for your position? Did you feel it was sufficient?&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;- &nbsp;What was it like being a TSO? For those who don’t know that’s Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) on the front lines at airports. They’re the biggest workforce for TSA. How long were you working as a TSO?</p> <p>&nbsp;- &nbsp;Any funny TSA stories you can share?</p> <p>&nbsp;- &nbsp;What do you know about canine handlers? Such cute and hard working dogs.</p> <p>&nbsp;- &nbsp;Where can you go to find federal jobs?</p> <p>&nbsp;- &nbsp;Do you have any last things you want to share?&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;- &nbsp;Where can people find more about you?&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>Resources:&nbsp;</p> <p>Check out usajobs.gov for all federal jobs listed and applications.</p> <p><br></p> <p>If you’d like to get in touch with Michelle, you can find her here: https://www.instagram.com/m1ch3ll34nn/</p> <p><br></p>
