I would like to host up to 25 students at once. It will be in person and be a combination of me speaking, Q&A, pictures and videos, and a gear and equipment demonstration for the students.\nThe students would learn about what the FBI does both domestically and internationally. Students would learn how to become a Special Agent and what the requirements are. I will also discuss my journey from Delbarton to the FBI and how I have been able to live out my dream of being a FBI Special Agent.
