has two sides to them yeah yeah um do you think do you think you see the world differently now than before you got into this career absolutely yeah yeah yeah absolutely like going from teaching i had my beautiful kids they were like great everything was roses and unicorns and like

Yeah.

Yeah, but do you know what it did teach me, primary school teaching, was it taught me if you can get information out of a kid, you can get information out of anybody.

You try and question a kid and they'll go, yeah, I don't know, whatever.

Yeah, it's good.

Well, what's good?

Tell me more.

So you learn really good questioning skills from teaching.

Yeah, that's what teaching taught me.

It's not what it seems on the movies.

It's great if you like to be analytical and question things and love jigsaw puzzles.

Like sometimes I'll explain it like it's a spiderweb.

and you're solving different problems, if you're a police officer or something like that and you think, oh yeah, it's something I'd like to get into, absolutely, go for it.

There's nothing to stop you.

It's hard to get into because it is, the stigma that goes with it is probably that it is an old boys club, but there's lots of females that do it.

Yeah.

Maybe less intimidating.

I had a conversation with a male investigator about that because I wrote something and I said females look at things differently.

We have a very different investigative mind.

We're not so black and white sometimes, or we'll bring a different element like empathy, more so than a male.
