Upon arrival as an A/SSA of a VCAC squad, I was responsible for supervising an International Human
Trafficking case that involved a network of people who procured children to be sexually abused by a
financier. During the course of this investigation, I was informed of an issue regarding certain electronic
evidence that needed to be reviewed immediately pursuant to a court ordered mandate. Given the
significant attention this case had drawn in the media, it was vital to quickly and effectively rectify this
problem. Operating under a court imposed deadline, I first sought to immediately flex personnel
directly underneath me to work the problem. Once these employees were engaged, I then sought to
obtain more assistance by recruiting personnel from across several branches of the NYO to be deployed
to help. This required me to hold numerous meetings with executive management across these
different branches to gain their consent for the usage of their personnel. Once I obtained their
approval, I ensured all staff were aware of their respective roles and actively engaged on the review by
providing detailed instructions. As the project progressed, I provided continuous status updates to both
FBI management as well as management at the USAO. Based on my ability to swiftly and efficiently
develop a plan and fully execute it, I was able to ensure that this evidence review was completed on
time with no impact on the larger case much to the appreciation of FBI management.
