Sepulveda told the New York Post that, after earning her MBA, she decided to work in law enforcement, not finance, because she thought she would be better able to help people in law enforcement. [4]

Career

[10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] Amid the media generated by the article, Sepulveda has had multiple interviews, [17] but has refused to name her police department to avoid any negative association that might be made between her two careers.
