Janice

Training Instructor 

For many years, training and facilitation have been an important part of my 

professional career. During my tenure on DIA’s Career Development team, 

my supervisor recognized that training was becoming more of my passion. 

With this in mind, she suggested that I take on the task of developing our 

first training course for career development officers. This sparked my desire 

to work in training on a full-time basis, and I am now an instructor for our 

Intelligence Information Systems course.

In addition to my instructor duties, I also work part-time as a professional 

coach, which gives me another opportunity to work in the field I love. It is 

so fulfilling when you can come to work every day and know that you are 

making an impact in someone’s life. I am very appreciative to all who have 

helped me along my professional journey and supported me as I found my 

calling. And I feel extra fortunate that I get to employ myself and my skills in 

defense of our great Nation.
