ATWJE - Katalin Howard - Step on Toes!

Episode: 00156 Released on April 24, 2023

Description: Sassy? Spicy? Out of line? When our guest was told to not step on toes, she brought out her highest heels. Kat Howard brings an exciting, dynamic, hold-no-punches interview with Jason in this week’s empowering episode. Kat discusses her undercover work for a human trafficking investigation in her early 20s, her interest-turn-expertise in OSINT, and how to think outside the box while in the box of law enforcement culture. Kat gives her thoughts on analysts developing their programming skills and discusses a new project she’s working on with USC Upstate to capitalize on the power of technology. Kat is currently a criminal intelligence analyst at DataWalk. 

CHALLENGE: There are Easter eggs in one of the tables of the Excel chapter that Jason wrote for the IACA textbook. First-person to email us at leapodcasts@gmail.com about what the Easter eggs are will receive a $20 gift card from us. Happy hunting!
