Secret Service

Emily Jaso said it was her love of law enforcement and numbers that led her to an internship at the U.S. Secret Service in Houston.

"I liked that it had a mix of desk work and some out in the field, with a little bit of excitement," said Jaso, who will graduate in May from Sam Houston State University with a degree in Criminal Justice. "I like working with numbers, and it involves working with banking, counterfeiting and credit card fraud."

Jaso spent the 2012 spring semester working full-time at the federal agency, which is housed in the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas in downtown Houston. While most people associate the U.S. Secret Service with presidential protection, its original mandate – and ongoing mission – is to safeguard the payment and financial institutions of the United States.
