Talia Potochny

• Current 1811-series federal criminal investigator with 2+ years of experience in major crimes, fraud, and counterintelligence investigations. 

• Previously, I worked in human-centered research as a user experience researcher (UXR) for 1 year while pursuing my master’s degree. I also worked in information technology (IT) and education technology for 4 years, while studying geography and GIS/spatial analysis/cartography.

Through my experiences, I gained a solid theoretical foundation in studying human behavior from working for the federal government in criminal and national security investigations, working in industry, and studying for my B.S. in Geography/GIS and M.S. in Information Studies. Learn more about my journey on this page, or visit my creative project pages below.
