For an overview of my work experience in national security at CSIS, read "So you say you’re an expert? Prove it!

your phonology course was priceless! very resourceful, humourous, and fun! and you gave a slightly different answer back then. it seemed you did learn more language through these years. will you resume your phd in Linguistics again ?

Awesome. Is it a requirement to know so much languages to get into CSIS?

Very impressive! Very useful skill for individuals looking to work in intel or foreign policy (duh).
