Background

About Michael A. Black

People and puzzles are a couple of my biggest interests. These passions have lead me towards a career in international affairs, language and technology, focusing primarily on intelligence analysis and collection. My objective is to combine my professional experience in intelligence, project management, and foreign languages with my educational background in analytic tradecraft and international affairs to protect our great nation and its industries. I have been very fortunate to experience, first-hand, several global environments and cultures pertinent to my current field of work and education. These experiences have enhanced my fluency in Spanish and Arabic (MSA, Levantine, Egyptian), as well as my technical writing competency in English (Anyone else interested in the history and evolution of parentheses?[I didn't think so.]). I strive for teamwork, sustainability and creative best practices in whatever I do. Specialties: Intelligence Analysis and Collection, Risk Assessment, International Affairs and Diplomacy, Arabic, Spanish, Research, Writing & Editing, IT and Cybersecurity
