## May 3, 2018 | How one USC scholar shifted from cinema to counterintelligence
**Author:** Andrew Bennett
**Source:** USC News
**Summary:** A meeting with USC’s David Petraeus led theater lover Remaya Campbell from storytelling to counter-intelligence. And she intends to stay there.
**Highlights:**
- ==“Something radical shifted in me. I remember marching out in the streets my freshman year after the Trevon Martin ruling,== and when the world is moving in such a way, you feel the need to do something,” Campbell said.
- She said teaching inner-city high school students basic law through the USC Gould School of Law’s Street Law program was “utterly inspiring.” When the teens were asked to choose topics they’d like to learn further, Campbell expected requests related to police interaction or Miranda Law. Instead, they asked for lessons on constitutional law, cybersecurity and the Patriot Act. “Their interests were unlimited by their environment,” she said.
- The Catholic/Protestant struggle in Northern Ireland opened her eyes.
- “==In an all-white country, people still find ways to divide themselves==, so you find you’re not alone in struggle, and you’re not alone in hope,” she said. “To feel connected to a people and country you’re entirely different from was the epitome of education for me.”
- The experience sparked her interest in terrorism, she said, and ==how one man’s terrorist can be another man’s freedom fighter.==
- ==Campbell met retired Gen. David Petraeus, a USC professor, at one such event. She told him off-the-cuff that, as a ninth-grade student, she had dreamed of working for the Central Intelligence Agency.== The former CIA director encouraged her to apply to the agency.
- Though she has to remain vague on the details, ==Campbell said she got the opportunity to working on counterterrorism issues for the CIA.==
- “It’s an invigorating and intriguing time in our society,” she said.
