“I was looking for something to do after leaving the convent and this was an opportunity that presented itself.”

I wasn’t really scared at the time. But afterwards, when I had time to think about it, it scared me a bit. But it didn’t discourage me from the job.

“I honestly didn’t see myself as a pioneer. It was just a role that I was fortunate enough to become a part of.”

Most people back then didn’t even realize the F.B.I. had female agents. Many times a subject would simply open the door when I knocked, not expecting me to say, ‘F.B.I.’.

In training we were all in the same boat. We were all trying to prove ourselves.
