I have been in the intelligence community for 6 years across two agencies. I am a data scientist and have worked in roles including research and development, software engineering, intelligence analysis and NIC coordination. I started out as an ICT Cadet, working part time while I finished my undergraduate studies. I've got a Bachelor of Computer Science and am part way through a Masters of Data Science, supported by my workplace. One of the things I enjoy the most about the intelligence community is the complexity involved in my work. I'm constantly learning and pushing myself, and feel like I'm solving problems that really matter.

The capacity to work with cutting edge technology and associated subject-matter-experts is simply staggering in the NIC. I couldn’t imagine working anywhere else, particularly when you overlay that with the satisfaction of actively contributing to the mission.

As a STEM student, I never knew the breadth of opportunities that awaited me outside of research. Joining the NIC helped me realise that there are a multitude of unique ways that I can use my science skills and contribute meaningfully to the Australian community – all while constantly enjoying my work.
