“What makes my work meaningful is seeing the results of our efforts when we introduce new capabilities during exercises and experiments that impact our Navy and Joint Services. It’s fulfilling to know that these advancements will be used in future operational and tactical environments by military service members, including my daughter, who is an Army chief warrant officer, and my son, who is a Navy chief petty officer.”

Isabella Martinez, Chief Scientist

“My work allows me to contribute to the future I want to live in. If I had to define my experience at Booz Allen with one word, I’d choose inspiration. I’m inspired daily by the people I get the privilege of calling colleagues and thought partners. Our people are creative, smart, and inspiring—they motivate me to grow.” 

Dr. Jason Christensen, Program Manager

“Our work is meaningful because of the observable, impactful change it cultivates. Here, our research doesn’t collect dust on a shelf. Mission partners act on our findings every day to counter real threats to national security. It’s as meaningful as it is motivating. The culture here is irresistible. There are Employee Communities, Technical Experience Groups, Communities of Practice, and much more. Our culture thrives because we’re all actively contributing to it every day.”
