Much like an artist, I identify the overall scope of the project (the highlight of the story), details and background related to subjects (character development, scenery, moods/sounds), put them all into context (story board) and release a narrative (the final animated story). Today, I apply that same discipline when I approach a new task. I used to develop story boards, characterization, and details for my animation projects. Q: Can you apply the Imaging and Digital Arts training you received at UMBC to your current position?Ī: I find that training more useful than people would think.
As the sole analyst representing my team, I partner and integrate with other teams to get the job done and that partnership is essential when it comes to staying above the curve. I help define and drive the mission and ensure both technical and analytical requirements are in place for my particular mission focus.
I have worked very hard to learn and maintain technical tradecrafts. Q: As a Technical Analyst, what do you do?Ī: First, I'd like to caveat that I do not consider myself a highly technical person naturally. In 2004, I applied to work for NSA, and the rest is history. In all, I wanted to do something to give back to the country that provided me with so many opportunities. I thought about what I could do in a bigger environment with my language skills and also more about the impact September 11th had on me. Applying my language ability to help people and directly impact their lives was very rewarding. Immediately after my undergraduate tenure I began working as a Korean interpreter for a local hospital. I knew my bilingual capability could make a positive contribution to society. That event made me think about the serious social, economic and national issues at large. While finishing my degree, September 11th occurred. Not surprisingly, I aspired to work for Pixar and Disney while in college. Currently serving as a Technical Analyst, Beanland explains how she contributes to mission success and why she chose to serve at the National Security Agency.Ī: I graduated from University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) with a visual arts degree in imaging and digital arts and a concentration in animation. Initially a Korean Language Analyst, Beanland's extensive knowledge of the language and culture impacted her career beginnings immensely. Today, with over a decade of service to America working for the National Security Agency, Beanland has accomplished things she never imagined and is sharing her journey as a reminder to never give up. She emigrated to the United States at a young age and learned lessons of strength and resiliency early. Jisoo Beanland, Technical Analyst and Korean Linguist Expert
