>> The thing that I am good at in my job is that I'm really attentive to detail.
So I always have kind of focused on making sure all the pieces fit together,
especially when you're talking about written products, like regulations and laws.
You really have to kind of make sure that it follows, like and people can --
even people off the street, regular people who are dealing with these laws,
can figure out how to comply with them.
So I like that this gives me the opportunity to use that kind of skill.
I also like that at least where I work at the headquarters of a very large agency,
you get exposed to a lot of different issues and topics.
So I can kind of dabble in different areas.
I work with law enforcement officers, so sometimes you actually deal with sort
of real-life problems, "Hey, this person tried to bring X, Y, and Z in across the border.
I looked at it and I wasn't sure whether it fell within this law, or this other provision."
And so we get to be involved in that.
So there's a lot of diversity to it.
And, you know, I was a political science major here at Pomona.
And so I am still close to that process.
I'm not in a political job, but I do give legal counsel to people who are about,
"We're thinking about making this decision, and here's the way it could be viewed externally.
Here's the factors you may want to consider."
But one of the things I like about my job is that I'm not ultimately responsible
for making the decision, I'm just part of the team
of giving people all the perspective that they need to do it.
