Nature's Secret Service, Ep01: Marie Palladini Part 1
Marie Palladini served as a special agent for the US Fish and Wildlife Service for 29 years and began her career in the Special Operations Unit (SOU), which conducted long-term, complex, undercover operations. She later served in the Los Angeles field office as a field agent, a training officer, and as the Resident Agent in Charge (RAC) overseeing all law enforcement operations in Southern California. In this week's episode, Marie talks with Ed about her experiences as one of the first female agents hired by the USFWS, working with the SOU, and tackling a dangerous undercover assignment investigating the illegal trade in alligator skins.
