Julia Pierson made history yesterday when she was sworn in as the first ever female Secret Service director!
This was a monumental moment since the Secret Service, which is responsible for the protection of the President of the Unite States, has always been made up of male agents. Now, Julia Pierson has broken past the gender line and inevitable shifted the world’s perception of Secret Service agents!
Pierson was sworn in by Vice President Joe Biden during a short ceremony on march 27. President Obama was at her side and later told reporters, “Obviously, she’s breaking the mold in terms of directors of the agency and I think that people are all extraordinarily proud of her.” He then continued on to praise Pierson’s work ethic and skills.
Congratulations, Julia! We have no doubt you’ll be amazing in your new position!
