Immigrant Squared

Episode 5- Immigrants in Corporate Security


Listen Later

I had the pleasure of interviewing a fellow immigrant and woman in security Sonia Knowles. Sonia immigrated from Peru in pursuit of educational opportunities. She assimilated into the American culture by becoming a military spouse. While adapting to the culture of military life she was not able to identify herself as an immigrant, but she found a community.

Years later she started to wonder what it means to be an immigrant. Sonia and I discussed our struggles with our foreign accents, and how we overcame those struggles and found humor in idioms.

As women in security, we discussed the advantages of growing up abroad, the awareness and security skills we have as a result, and why multilingual and multicultural analysts are crucial to the success of Security Operation Centers in the private sector.
